Hello!

I've enabled the cron job, but when started manually as user root,
it fails because it can't connect to the server.

Syber Shock will be happy you have the same error he did :) I will fix
this in the code soon, but please create the following directories as the
user that runs your web server (possibly www-data):

By default, $spooldir is /var/spool/rslight, unless you set something
else:
/var/spool/rslight/nocem/processed
/var/spool/rslight/nocem/failed

Once the directories are created, run cron.php in cron every 5 or 10
minutes or so (or use Syber Shock's script), and see if it eventually add
articles to the site.

Thanks, that fixed the PHP stuff, but sadly it won't fix the connection
problem to the local server.

The problem was the connection to the upstream NNRP server. I enabled
TLS and entered port 563, but it tried to connect to port 1 (IPv6).

I will do more tests and try to figure out, what happens.

I tried news.mixmin.net (it doesn't need auth for reading) with its
hostname that uses IPv6 on my test system.

Please make sure to put the ssl port number in $remote_ssl variable, not a
'1' to enable same.

So in /etc/rslight/rslight.inc.php:
<?php
return [
'remote_server' => 'news.mixmin.net',
'remote_port' => '119',
'remote_ssl' => '563',
...

Should connect using ssl to 'remote_server'. ssl is preferred in the code:

if ($CONFIG['remote_ssl']) {
if ($nport == $CONFIG['remote_port']) {
$nport = $CONFIG['remote_ssl'];
}

Feel free to use news.i2pn2.org also as you wish. No auth required for
reading.

Then the description is wrong:

Enable if connecting to remote server using ssl (1=true, blank=false):

Yes, it is wrong. Syber Shock let me know that recently. The error is
mine :)

I will fix the description soon.
