RSS in Firefox

Whenever I click on the RSS icon in Firefox I get this message Firefox can't find the server at myserver.com.caackend. I have setup the rss backend and the feed. I also set the permission on the geeklog.rss to 777. I do not know what else to do.

Any help would be greatly Appreciated.

Thanks! Big Grin

View your site's HTML code ("View Page Source" in Firefox) and check the

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" ...

line in the header. Does the URL for the feed in that line make sense? Compare with the "Syndication output folder" setting in the Configuration.

bye, Dirk

No it does not match. But when I look at the index.php file, I do not know what to change.

Any help would be greatly Appreciated.

Use a complete path. Copy the one from "HTML Path" and add the backend/geeklog.rss bit after it.

That's a URL, not a path. As I said, copy the "HTML Path" (from the "Path" settings, just below the "Syndication" settings).

Why not open the feed in Content Syndication, and save it again? That works in 99% of the cases.
