I am SO new at this, I apologize if this is a rookie error. I just purchased and downloaded both the Blogger software and the HTML editor. I used the Save and Publish button to upload to my server, and then verified that it all made it. I can get the page to work in the html editor, but get this Oops Failed to Load Data error when I try to view it live. I can't find any documentation in the help files on any type of errors. If I could get pointed in the right direction here, that would be great!! Thanks!--Susan

Hello ,

We have heard of this issue from some of our users and we have finally tracked down the reason for it. There are two PHP functions which will need to be turned on by our host. These are, allow_url_fopen and magic_quotes_gpc. Both are usually turned on by default but some hosts turn them off.

If you would like to check to see if these functions are turned off on your server, follow these directions.(This will also allow you to check the PHP version on the server.) Open Notepad and copy and paste this code into the document:


<?php

phpinfo();

?>


Now go to File > Save As and save the file as phpinfo.php, make sure you change the "Save as type" to All files. Now you will need to upload this file to your server using an FTP client. Once the file is on the server, go to the file with your browser and all the PHP information about the server will be displayed.

A different way to check this same information is to use the PHP file uploaded by our program. Just add this to the end of the URL and the same information will appear. ?debug=info

So your URL would look similar to this:
http://www.yourdomain.com/mynews.php?debug=info

Look for the functions listed at the beginning of this e-mail and make sure they are set to ON. If they are not, you will need to contact your host and ask for them to be turned on.

Well, I did check (that's a pretty slick trick!) and both files are turned on. Since I was there, I checked the version of PHP...4.3.10. So....is there anything else I can do?

I am able to setup and run rssnews flash from my local machine and from the webserver via \\

I get the error msg. 'ops failed to load' when I attempt to view the page via IE 8.0 over the web.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
Same Problem,Need Answers Please,
The Rss Readers/Feeds on the website never working ,in the Preview mode it works (in the VSDesigner) ...the message is "Oops.. Failed to Load Data" and a link click here for help...so Help!
Thanks anyway Affiliatecons.com

I have this same error as well. I am hoping that the PHP settings as indicated above on my web host will be turned on as I requested. It worked fine locally after I changed the global settings for Flash 8 on the Settings Manager..

I've come up with the same error after trying to run a sidebar version of flash blogger on one of my sites. I've run the php test and the server shows both those functions turned on. I have the latest version of macromedia flash player and have run out of ideas on this one. Any help? I'm able to run a flash banner built with Firestarter on this same page and I notice that one runs with http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cab … on=4,0,0,0 while the one that doesn't work runs with http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/sh … on=7,0,0,0

I'm leaving the flash blog up temporarily at the bottom of the right sidebar at http://jamestwohats.com/skinwalker//blog5.php http://jamestwohats.com/BackPackBlog/
http://jamestwohats.com/skinwalker/blog1.php?blog=1

I had the same (Oops - Data not found) issue with the RSS newsflash that turned out to be two PHP settings that were off on the web server by default:

magic_quotes_gpc
allow_url_fopen

I called my ISP, had them turn those two PHP settings to "On" and everything worked from that point forward.

I hope this helps!

Hello - Flash blogger? I have flash blogger too - but my problem is with the Flash RSS Feeder - exact same error and the problem resolution page link has disappeared since this morning! I had a link to it and now it is gone.

When I do a search for the problem "Oops Failed to Load Data" all that shows up is this page. Here's my site http://davidcurtis.org -- sorry, the link goes back to here now, the old link to the problem "Oops Failed to Load Data" with Flash RSS simply stopped working. HELP.

OK - Here's the problem - it's your programmer!

* @author Jeff Welch
* @category NewsFlash
* @package Scripts
* @copyright Copyright (c) 2010 CoffeeCup Software, Inc. (http://www.coffeecup.com/)
* @version 2.0

The problem is spelled out in this line in the PHP file produced by Coffee Cup RSS News Feed:

define('CC_NF_SCRIPT_LAST_UPDATED', '03/25/2010');

/**
* The version of PHP required to run this script.
*/
define('CC_NF_PHP_VERSION', '4.1.0');


PHP Version 4.1.0? Todays' updated servers are running PHP Version 5.5 not 4.1.0 and not even 4.5 any more.

I've had Hostmonster.com check my PHP file permissions on the .php, .txt., .html, .swf and .xml for all the RSS News Feed files and they're all standard (the same as they were before) and also had him check to make sure that allow_url_fopen is enabled on the server and it is.

So it looks like Jeff Welch should perhaps be dealing with this issue.
