RSS problem

  • total newbie here – who is having real trouble getting my head around some of this
    I have trawled around for a couple of days trying to figure this out
    when I click on RSS 2.0 link and comments RSS 2.0 link i get an error
    “Not Found
    The requested URL /blog/feed/rss2/ was not found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. “
    if I try and access
    https://www.inaminuteago.com/blog/wp-rss2.php
    I can see it
    after searching the support forums I thought it might be the htaccess file – but I could be wrong because I am not sure about any of this stuff
    If I ftp to the site I can see a htaccess file in my public_html directory but not one in the ‘blog’ folder
    If I try to edit it through WordPress interface I get
    Editing .htaccess
    Oops, no such file exists! Double check the name and try again, merci.
    The Question is – do i have to create a htaccess file to solve this problem – if so how? Or am I going off in a wrong direction –
    I seem to have been mucking about with this blog for weeks (transfering from Typepad) any help out there would be most appreciated – as I say I am a newbie at this

    You can only use one .htaccess file per directory. If you all ready have a .htaccess file in that directory, then you need to add the rewrite code to it.

    Nope, that s not it.
    Same host, but different virtual server/domains…
    No problem, it I upload a .htaccess containing
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html
    if I chmod 666 .htaccess
    and open this within the online template editor , insert the text from options /permalinks and press “Update file” i get
    Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/templates.php on this server.
    right away. Then I have to
    rm .htaccess
    to make the blog accessible again.
    I am lost….

    According to any reputable webdesign forum and tutorial, .htaccess should be CHMOD 644 to prevent browsers and external programs from directly accessing it (presenting it in a viewable fashion, thus compromising password-protected directories). Even though WordPress says that it can only access files with CHMOD 666, it can access other files with other CHMOD values as well, such as 644, 777, and 755. Try CHMODing your .htaccess file to 644, see if that has any impact.

    Dosnt make sense, because all other value are IMHO more restrictive then 666 (hell, it _the_ numer), but I will try it anyway.
    But the blog ist working still after 666ing it, it only stops wenn I insert those lines from options /permalinks and press “Update file”
    So I gess it has to be something in this lines…

    644 – You cannot update the file/template
    777
    -> Forbidden
    You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/templates.php on this server.
    755 – You cannot update the file/template
    Then I changed .htaccess offline, uploaded and then chmod-ed it to all of those numbers: ->
    403 Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access / on this server.
    Apache/1.3.26 Server at www.nanoperium.de Port 80
    empty .htaccess uploaded -> everything works fine
    How do I grant all users access to a site using .htaccess (in the literature and web i find only examples how to restrict access)?
    Maybe that would help

    @kafkaesqui:
    did it (even tried multi), doesnt work: ->
    Forbidden
    You don’t have permission to access /index.php on this server.
    Apache/1.3.26 Server at https://www.nanoperium.de Port 80
    What is it in those lines that closes my server?

    Me again.
    Is it possible, that mod_rewrite is not running on my server ?
    How can I check?

    >Ask the admin? ??
    For non-profit projects I have to be the admin myself, I am running the damnd server – so I trying to understand what I am doing. ??
    >RewriteEngine On
    >RewriteRule ^test.php /test2.php [L]
    Doesnt work neither.
    Well now I have to find out, how to make mod_rewrite running. I just dont get, why it blocks access, instead of throwing an reasonable error. I mean, its linux, not windows, right?

    Problem solved, RSS is running.

    If you ever happen to have a problem with modrewrite, you might find the solution here (as i did):
