Yes this is the same CMS on an earlier post. We currently do not have any proxy settings enabled on the CMS. Our network though is behind the proxy (which we cannot easily make any changes to).
We just upgraded the CMS 1.7.2 and as of right now everything seems to be working as it should. Regarding the client updating with the correct RSS feeds.
I have the Log Level set to audit and debugging turned ON. I am not seeing any logs populate under Advanced > Logs in CMS. Any thoughts?
