I am unable to create RSS using views, I get the following error. I have a multisite configuration and I need to aggregate content from the mother portal to the other portals.

XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Location: http://www.mysite.com/my_view/feed
Line Number 3, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
^

Thanks

Title: XML Parsing Error » FATAL: Drupal RSS feed error

I get the same error. Nothing fancy going on, not multi-site, just clicking Drupal's RSS icon in Firefox.

Instead of opening Drupal's RSs feed, it goes here:
file:///C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/Temp/rss-6.xml

The above page gives this error:

XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity

Location: file:///C:/Users/John/AppData/Local/Temp/rss-6.xml

Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
^

From reading the above comments, it appears that this issue is not related to the syndication module, but to the views RSS module.
