Since a couple of version back the update_daemon doesn't work correctly on FreeBSD without modification. The daemon is running without errors and purging feeds but no feeds are updated. This is related to the path of the PHP-executable.
The line:
define('PHP_EXECUTABLE', '/usr/bin/php');
in update_daemon.php must be changed to:
define('PHP_EXECUTABLE', '/usr/local/bin/php');
This might be a problem on other systems as well. Windows? Maybe related to ticked 135 as well but I can't remember if I had this problem as early as 1.2.13.
How about moving the defines in update_daemon.php to config.php?
