Title: Plugin Problem on Linux Last modified: October 1, 2016 --- # Plugin Problem on Linux * Resolved [andyhodges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andyhodges-1/) * (@andyhodges-1) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-problem-on-linux/) * I am using an Amazon linux server, which is becoming more popular. It’s called the EC2 AMI. It works as an instance.. which is probably a virtual box. There a few problems when running this server with the Apple News plugin. It’s the timezone. * 1.) WordPress setting shows timezone: New York (Eastern). 2.) Server date and timezone set at: New York (Eastern). * When I POST an article, the timestamp in the JSON for Apple News still shows a time that’s 4 hours ahead. * Then I learned that there’s a “hardware clock” on the linux box.. and that’s set at UTC. Well, I can’t seem to change this setting because I’m using a virtual/ instance server. * Does Apple News compile its time using the hardware clock or the server date/ time? When I show the time in PHP, it shows the proper server/Wordpress time.

Well, I see the articles now on iCloud.com, but the plugin says the articles are not published.. with a status of “N/A”. I guess the plugin isn’t syncing with Apple News? * Thread Starter [andyhodges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andyhodges-1/) * (@andyhodges-1) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-problem-on-linux/#post-8242485) * Ok, problem happening again on NEW articles. The strange thing is.. when I get the message: * There has been an error with the API: WRONG_SIGNATURE * It happens on articles in the Apple News list that don’t have the SECTION box. Older articles have the SECTION for me to click on (Main). * Thread Starter [andyhodges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andyhodges-1/) * (@andyhodges-1) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-problem-on-linux/#post-8243999) * I got two sites… one working with Apple News fine.. but the other has problems. * 1.) Both have time set to Eastern in WordPress 2.) Both have UTC set on the server * One site publishes to Apple News fine. The other produces a “FAILED_PROCESSING” error. BUT the articles are in iCloud. * Any clue? * Thread Starter [andyhodges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andyhodges-1/) * (@andyhodges-1) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-problem-on-linux/#post-8244001) * Here’s the JSON of the FAILED PROCESSING one. * `{"version":"1.1","identifier":"post-1376","language":"en","title":"Black Moon Friday Night Event Welcomes Halloween","documentStyle":{"backgroundColor":"#FAFAFA"}," layout":{"columns":7,"width":1024,"margin":100,"gutter":20},"components":[{"role":" header","layout":"headerPhotoLayout","components":[{"role":"photo","layout":" headerPhotoLayout","URL":"bundle:\/\/black-moon-friday-night.jpg"}],"behavior":{" type":"parallax","factor":0.8}},{"role":"container","layout":{"columnStart":0," columnSpan":7,"ignoreDocumentMargin":true},"style":{"backgroundColor":"#FAFAFA"}," components":[{"role":"title","text":"Black Moon Friday Night Event Welcomes Halloween"," textStyle":"default-title","layout":"title-layout"},{"role":"byline","text":" by Scott Lee | Sep 30, 2016 | 10:45 PM","textStyle":"default-byline","layout":" byline-layout"},{"role":"body","text":"A Black Moon will rise Friday night, bringing ghostly superstitions before Halloween.

I get “There has been an error with the API: WRONG_SIGNATURE” whenever publishing. Server time is EDT, WordPress time is EDT.

I did deactivate them, moved the theme to default WordPress.. cleaned up all “apple_news” references in database and then reinstalled plugin. Same problem. I did open a ticket with Apple News asking them if there are any issues on their end. It’s a brand new Channel.. which was approved on 10/1. I’ll let you know what they say. It’s just weird that I can only get one article in there and then the rest prompt an error. * Thread Starter [andyhodges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andyhodges-1/) * (@andyhodges-1) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-problem-on-linux/#post-8248762) * I heard back from Apple News tech support and they said all is fine on their end. They are blaming it on the plugin. * Plugin Author [Bradford Campeau-Laurion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/potatomaster/) * (@potatomaster) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-problem-on-linux/#post-8248769) * Well, we haven’t made any changes to the plugin either in the timeframe mentioned. Also, I prefer not to use the word “blame”. This is open source software, offered free of charge, and we’re all collaborating here for a solution. * This will require further investigation. We will look into it, but we can’t guarantee a timeframe for resolution. * Thread Starter [andyhodges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andyhodges-1/) * (@andyhodges-1) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-problem-on-linux/#post-8249322) * The word Blame was a poor choice in words on my part. The WRONG_SIGNATURE error.. I wish there was more debugging I can do. Nothing shows up in PHP errors, or the WordPress debug.
