RSS problem

Thanks for the quick reply – I tried it but I still get the same error – would the output from the options | permalinks posted here help anyone?

sorry to post again – the fact that I had the permalinks working – but not the RSS confuses me no end – and there wasn’t a htaccess file until I created one – so I am still scratching my head… have learnt heaps along the way though

just tried it and now i have lost my permalinks …

You have to then copy the new output into the htaccess file.

I did – and thats when I lost the perma links and still the same error for rss –
do you want to see the output here?
I am poking around your blog…

Nah, won’t help. If you put in the suggested structure, hit update and then copied the result into .htaccess and ftp’d it into your blog directory that should be it.

yep I did that – but I will try again incase I did something dumb –

I use:
/archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
and
/archives/category

yes I just tried it again – with your structure – and it did not work –
just to make sure we are not talking at cross purposes (as i am new to this stuff) I am looking at options \permalinks towards the bottom
the /archives etc is in a box just above the update permalink structure button – I click that
select all the text that is generated
paste it inot the htaccess file and ftp it to my blog site
am I doing right?

yes “RewriteEngine On” and is in the blog directory
I have had a lot of problems really – have to go now its knock off time in OZ – what is it over there? will check back in later on tonight and see if you have come up with some magic –
I am wondering if I should just start over again … I have had alot of glitches over the past few weeks trying to set this up

I have just put back the index.php in the permalink –
just thought I would try it
and permalinks and the RSS now working – so something kicked in but i don’t really know what – would love to know if anyone has any insights that I can understand!
thanks Beel for your help something in all that cleaned up the error.

I have had the same problem – rss link gave the 404 error as soon as I enabled permalinks using the ‘/index.php/’ structure for permalinks (i.e. no need for .htaccess file). Permalinks worked fine after that but then the rss link generated the 404 error. I disabled permalinks and the rss feed started to work again. Maybe I have to figure out the .htaccess approach to permalinks in order to get both permalinks and rss working

Hi,
did everything as supposed, but as soon as I upload .htaccess /(as Ascii)
my server tells me:
‘ Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access / on this server.’
I use a standart LAMP -System.
Blog-dir is root
CAn you help?

Have you contacted your hosting provider?

I am using serveral .htaccess- Files. When I delete the .htaccess file with the lines from options /permalinks, everything is fine.
Here my .htaccess:
‘
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php/archives/category/(.*)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp-feed.php?category_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA]

Is there a conflict with my apache configuration? Or just a bug in those lines
