    Default RSS Not working

    Hi,

    I used RSS for example
    http://ws.kathimerini.gr/xml_files/news.xml
    http://wk.kathimerini.gr/xml_files/edition.xml
    <%block_rss_feed url="http://ws.kathimerini.gr/xml_files/news.xml&ie=UTF-8&output=rss" title="Top Stories" template="block.rss_feed.html" max_item="3" cache_time="66400"%>

    http://ws.kathimerini.gr/xml_files/n...F-8&output=rss returns a 404 error. You're not using a valid URL for the feed

    If http://ws.kathimerini.gr/xml_files/news.xml and http://wk.kathimerini.gr/xml_files/edition.xml are both valid feeds then why are you adding code the back of them? Just use the those URL's and it will work fine.

    Feed tested and working, perhaps it's your browsers cache that is causing the issue. Try clearing that.

    It is displaying ok for me also. I would say it is not a problem with the script, but a problem on your end somewhere.

    I added your feed to a page that has a feed already and it worked fine.

    Make sure you have not broken the code for the block that the feed appears in. Perhaps go to www.w3.org and check your page for errors.

    Otherwise I can't think of any other reason that it would not show up. It worked for me and apparently mpdaddy too so it should work for you.

    I think I mentioned this in another thread too, but I had a similar problem where feeds weren't working on one of my site. After looking further into it, the problem was due to the 'named' service on one of my servers.

    If you have totally rules out IndexU being the issue, I would look at it possibly being a server side issue as well

    There is nothing wrong with the feed. It has already been tested and it works just fine.

    That has nothing to do with it. Both mpdaddy and myself checked the feed and it works. You're going to need to troubleshoot the issue.

    Get a standalone PHP script that parses feeds and try running it on your server with a number of different feeds. See if it works. Try to connect to that site from yours and see if it works. Contact that sites owner and make sure your IP address (or block) isn't on a deny list for some reason.

    You already tried yahoo and it works, we tried the feed and it works, the issue isn't the feed. It's your site (but RSS works so it probably isn't your site), your server (big possibility) or the server with the feed you are trying to load (big possibility).

    As was said earlier, clear the cache in IndexU, clear the cache in your browser and try again.
