Problem with creating feeds in locally hosted emoncms

Hi,

I'm currently running emoncms on a locally hosted server and I've just started to use feeds for the first time. I tried to create a feed and got the following error:

Undefined variable: metafile in engine/PHPfina

I've since been told to go into my var/lib/ directory and create the PHPfina directory abd make it writable which I have done and I'm still getting the same error.

has anyone else had a similar problem?

Thanks, catoddie

Hello catoddie, did it give you any more information in the error message such as the file name and line number? I havent come across that error before, the errors are usually to do with permissions.

By any chance did you create the directory name as you have it in your post, i.e. PHPfina as opposed to phpfina?

The directory name is case sensitive, and should be phpfina.

Please provide some more information of the server, is it Linux or Windows?
If Linux make sure you have the ownership and file rights as suggested correct.
