New Installation RSS just doesn’t work

    Hi I hope someone can help.

    I have just installed wordpress locally on my mac. Everything worked fine. I added a couple of sample posts. I then went to try the rss feed and nothing.

    If I go to my home page (index.php) and click on the Entries(RSS) link all I get is an error from Safari saying it can’t load any data from this location. The Entries(RSS) links to /blog/feed/ but the page that safari is saying it can’t load is “feed:http://”

    I have tried typing /blog/wp-rss2.php and lots of other variations to no avail.

    I have setup my Feed options in the admin pages under ‘reading’. So that can’t be it. My .htaccess and everything else in the folder is fully readable and writable so that can’t be it.

    Does anybody have a clue what’s going on?

    Delete the “feed:” part in the link > ‘feed:http://’

    Unfortunately thats not a link I have control over. That is what the browser is feeding back that it can’t load from.

    So I enter /blog/wp-rss2.php and it changes to the above and says it can’t load anything.

    Okay so I just did something I should have thought of a while ago and tried getting to the rss feed in another browser. Just tried it on Firefox for the mac and it found it fine.

    So now I am really confused. Why does Safari have a problem with the same link. (/blog/feed/)

    Come on! That part is hardcoded in one of your template files.
    I did NOT say to remove the
    /blog/feed/
    I said to remove the word “feed:” from the BEGINNING of the link:
    feed:http://example.com/blog/feed/

    Sorry I haven’t made myself clear.

    If I enter http://localhost/~matthew/blog/feed/ into firefox I get the rss feed as I would expect.

    If I do the same in safari the page instantly displays a failed to open page error with the message “Safari can’t open the page “feed:http://” because it could not load any data from this location.”

    And I don’t understand what is happening.

    Help finding feed URL in templates??:
    Can someone give me a clue as to where I might find the link that is controlling where the RSS goes?
    I think I understand what is being said in this thread, but I’m really getting tired of searching for the feed URL.
    I’d like to find it so that I can try and remove the “feed:” to see if that makes it possible for RSS to load in Safari (which it won’t now).
