Hi there

I just did a new install using the latest stable version and i get two errors in my drupal status report

Boost Boost crawler did not get a 200 response; 0 returned instead.
Clear cached data & run cron; if error priests open an issue on the Boost issue queue.

and

HTTP request status Fails
Your system or network configuration does not allow Drupal to access web pages, resulting in reduced functionality. This could be due to your webserver configuration or PHP settings, and should be resolved in order to download information about available updates, fetch aggregator feeds, sign in via OpenID, or use other network-dependent services.

I rolled back the db to the pre-boost state and double checked and the HTTP error appears as soon as boost is enabled, and once i've configured boost (mostly defaults) i get the boost error.

Any thoughts about this?

This drupal site runs on a dedicated server and usually gets all green lights in the status report, as do my other drupal sites. I am running php as DSO but all directory permissions are set up appropriately and boost seems to actually be working when i'm logged out.

The only other odd thing about this site is that i have 3 subdomains running the same codebase (using symbolic links) and each subdomain uses a few different tables of the db (variable, blocks etc) to make the site work slightly differently. But i have done the boost admin on each subdomain including the main one which uses all the standard drupal tables and i get the same errors on each subdomain.

Any thoughts welcome. Thanks for a great module :)

Just stepped through this issue again ..

HTTP fails error appears in status report immediately after the boost module is enabled. I have tried resetting drupal_http_request_fails to 0 but it keeps switching back to 1.

Using default configuration without enabling the crawler, i don't see any boost errors.

As soon as I enable crawler, i get the message Boost crawler did not get a 200 response; 0 returned instead. Running cron yeilds no cached files.

On the same server, i installed boost on a similar build site but with no use of symbolic links and a lot smaller site (this is a big intranet with lots of cck being used - 317 tables in the database). In those builds, I don't see either the HTTP fails or the Boost 0 error.

Symbolic links are only used to store the drupal codebase in public_html/codebase so it can be shared among the 3 subdomains so i didn't think that would cause problems.

Any thoughts would be appreciated :)

Lastly, when I disable the crawler, the crawler error goes away. When I disable Boost, the HTTP Fails error goes away.

^ When i say disable Boost, I mean disable the module, not disable Boost in performance settings.

Did you get this resolved? Am getting the exact same thing on my site.
