I changed the permalink to /%category%/%postname%/ and that was even worse.
…/feed still did not work and it remaps the URLS so that …/?feed=rss gets mapped to …/feed/rss which does not work.
So I had no working RSS feed.
I changed the permalink back to the default but it still does the remapping.
Is there any way to avoid dumping the installation and starting over?
/feed only works with some sort of permalink structure set up other than default
?feed=rss2 is the default until you set up permalinks
So the issue is getting permalinks setup and running…. are you having difficulty there?
I seem to have made a bit of a mess doing it.
As I mentioned above I tried to change from default to /%category%/%postname%/.
The permalinks associated with the posts looked like I expected them to but the URL
…/feed did not return any posts. Apache just complained that the page was not found with a 404 error
Not Found
The requested URL /cms/en/feed was not found on this server.
http://www.napaexcellence.ca/cms/en/?feed=rss
gets rewritten as
http://www.napaexcellence.ca/cms/en/feed/rss/
with the same 404.
I tried to go back to the default but even though the permalinks on the posts look OK when I click on view page, I get an error.
I have done a bit more reading on Permalinks and found a bunch of things to do to Apache to enable the URL rewriting.
I will have to restart the server later tonight and hope I got everything right.
I added a LoadModule for mod_rewrite to Apache and restarted without upsetting any of the other websites.
The permalink structure is set to /%category%/%postname%/
less /var/www/www.napaexcellence.ca/cms/en/.htaccess shows
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /cms/en/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /cms/en/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
The permalink looks ok on the post edit page.
If I try to follow the permalink from the edit post page I get the following
Apache access log
127.0.0.1 – – [19/Jan/2011:14:29:37 -0500] “GET /cms/en/welcome/welcomeuap/skillsoft-courses/ HTTP/1.0” 404 242

What am I doing wrong?
Any ideas about where to look next?
Hi everyone,
At times, i’ll notice in firefox, camino, safari, flock and opera all would bounce out of my site into a blank page. I was trying to routinely set up my RSS URL and came across an invalid feed address error. I went to feedvalidator.org and showed an error
that my feed does not validate.
My blog is live, all my plug-ins are compatible and everything lookes to be working fine. It isn’t…
Dlvr.it and feedburner can’t detect my feed URL
After unsubscribing to my own feed, I found that when I tried to re-subscribe, my RSS reader reported the feed was invalid.
After a little Google-ing, it turns out to be a fairly common problem that WordPress ( or some plug-ins… ) can sometimes add a single blank link to one of your php files, typically your wpconfig.php file, after an upgrade.
In some cases this results in your blog loading only a WHITE SCREEN, a fairly obvious problem that I’m getting in 5 browsers… In others the result is more subtle.
Here’s the error I need help fixing please.
Server returned HTTP Error 404: Not Found
line 16, column 16: lastBuildDate must be an RFC-822 date-time: [help]
<lastBuildDate></lastBuildDate>

Have you tried:
– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
– re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress?
– increasing the memory available to PHP?

I seem to be having the same problem. It’s with a new install of the latest wordpress and I did start out with the twentyten theme to rule that out, and tried via disableing all the plugins. I’m just getting a blank page. I had started with no plugins activated anyway, so that can’t really be it. I’ve reinstalled the wordpress files and it’s still going on.
Anyone got a fix?
