I have enabled...

FeedAPI 6.x-1.6
Common syndication parser 6.x-1.6
FeedAPI Node 6.x-1.6

I created a Feed node with this feed URL: http://powershift09.org/blog/feed
(That's a feed on another drupal site.)

When I click the refresh tab in the node or at /admin/content/feed, nothing happens. The "last refresh" at /admin/content/feed still says "Never". I also tried running /cron.php.

I have cleared my Drupal cache at admin/settings/performance.

I am using the same feed in the basic Aggregator module... would that interfere with FeedAPI?
Incidentally, I have no problem displaying the same feed with the "latest items" block provided by the Aggregator module. But the Aggregator module is of no use to me since it can't display descriptions in a block. In any case, there is apparently nothing wrong with the feed source.

I have FeedNode enabled, but I don't think I need it. I just want to parse a feed and create a block to the display date, title, description, author. I don't need to save the content as nodes.

Meant to say "I have FeedAPI Node enabled, but I don't think I need it."

Also, I'm using PHP 5.2.6.

Thanks.

Well, you need FeedAPI node also. To make a block by views, first you need to save the content as a node.
Do you use the feedapi-created content-type?

I used the "Feed" content type that was added to my content types when I enabled these modules. I created a node of that content type, and in the "Feed URL" field in that node, I put http://powershift09.org/blog/feed

I figure there is no point in attempting anything else until I see something other than "Never" in the "Last refresh" column at /admin/content/feed/list

Clicking the refresh link at /admin/content/feed/list or clicking the refresh tab on the node does not cause that "Never" to change to something else : )

In the "Number of items" column, I see this: "No enough data for statistics"

I guess the "no" part is a typo.

"Clicking the refresh link at /admin/content/feed/list or clicking the refresh tab"
What happens exactly when you do this?

I am taken to the node page. /node/10 in this case. No content is displayed there.

If I then go back to /admin/content/feed, I still see "Never" and "No enough data for statistics".
