In my case the problem was the update process hanging on « sanitizing » for two feeds (on 200)

How i solved the problem:

- changed from error to debug in config.ini
- tail default.log and spotted unusual stops in log flow (hang more than 30s on « Debug item content sanitized »)
- unsubscribe the last feed been fetched/sanitized for each stop
- relaunch update until no hangs detected

...my fresh news are back and the auto-update works again.

Following the steps I've changed logging to "debug" and here you have an example:

03-11-14 12:49:48 Debug ---
03-11-14 12:49:48 Debug start fetching source "europapress (id: 1)
03-11-14 12:49:48 Debug spout successfully loaded: spouts\youtube\youtube
03-11-14 12:49:48 Debug fetch content
03-11-14 12:49:48 Debug minimum date: 2014-02-09 12:49:48
03-11-14 12:49:48 Debug start item fetching
03-11-14 12:49:48 Debug start insertion of new item "Noé podría no exhibirse en varios países islámicos"
03-11-14 12:49:48 Debug item content sanitized
03-11-14 12:49:49 Debug cleanup orphaned and old items
03-11-14 12:49:49 Debug cleanup orphaned and old items finished
03-11-14 12:49:49 Debug delete orphaned thumbnails
03-11-14 12:49:49 Debug delete orphaned thumbnails finished
03-11-14 12:49:49 Debug delete orphaned icons
03-11-14 12:49:49 Debug delete orphaned icons finished
03-11-14 12:49:49 Debug optimize database
03-11-14 12:49:49 Debug optimize database finished

But no data is stored in db, any error appears on log neither on screen

What m I missing?

Thanks!
