We just recently launched our site in Drupal format and our RSS feed isn't working for some reason and I can't find a setting or options for it under Administer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

RSS Feeds on Drupal 4.6.x
You can add Feeds from other websites at /admin/aggregator and some help about this feature you will find at /admin/help/aggregator
The settings of your own rss feeds you'll find at /admin/settings/aggregator

Thanks, but it didn't help
I've seen the aggregator and can use it to gather other site feeds. My problem is that MY feed for my site is not working properly. It creates an error when you try to subscribe to it and RSS readers can't find or read the feed from my site. I would really appreciate some help on this problem.
Thanks.
feed seems to be OK
If your site is www.HelpMeRick.com then the feed seems to be OK. I could access your feed ( http://www.helpmerick.com/node/feed ) without any problems.

The feed seems to work when you click on it...BUT
When you try to add it as a live bookmark in Firefox or an item in Pluck, neither can load the feed. I tried some of the other Drupal sites in the "showcase" forum and their RSS feeds work fine in Firefox as live bookmarks and also work well in Pluck.
When I looked at the XML files from my site versus others...they look similar, but defintely don't act the same when you try to subscribe to mine.
In fact, I just looked at yours and it loaded fine as a live bookmark and in Pluck.
Thanks again.
Feed loads fine as a live bookmark
Your site's feed loads fine in my Firefox. I tried validating the feed and though a few warnings are thrown up there are no errors... i.e. the feed is basically OK. Don't know why you are having problems with the feed.
Try using other feed readers (Google Reader, BlogLines, Liferea, Thuderbird) to subscribe to the feed.
Btw the feed advertised on my site is a FeedBurner feed and not the native Drupal feed. Maybe thats why you could subscribe to it just fine.

I tried it on 3 different computers and RSS readers...
Still no go. I hope someone can help me with this aggravating problem.
I appreciate you looking at it Varun.
tricky problem indeed
This is a very tricky problem indeed. I can subscribe to your feeds just fine (in Firefox and a few other feed readers) and your feed also validates as RSS. I don't know why you are unable to subscribe to your own feeds.
Can somebody else concur whether they can subscribe to the feed or not?
Are you behind a firewall or proxy? This is stretching it a bit too far but maybe something is changing your datastream before it reaches your reader and that is causing all the problems.
I recommend that you try once more subscribing to the feed using Firefox and (say) Google Reader and BlogLines. Give us a step-by-step description of what you are actually doing. Maybe that will help in troubleshooting the problem.

The feed fails for me with
The feed fails for me with Firefox 1.5. Though I'm not getting an XML/RSS feed but an Atom feed: http://www.helpmerick.com/atom/feed .

Could this be it?
As we were developing our Drupal site, I had a subdirectory in my domain called /drupalbeta. I went to that 'index' page just now and it's RSS feed works perfectly. What other steps do I need to make to get rid of that subdirectory or at least make sure that my root Drupal installation is THE installation that works the way it should?
Thanks again.
Still no resolution for my RSS problem
I upgraded our site to 4.6.5 then 4.6.6 last night and still don't have RSS functionality for our site. I can use the Aggregator to get other feeds, BUT I need and want the ability for our feed to work so that it can be subscribed to by others.
Please, any help that you can expound on for us is greatly appreicated.

Did you get this sorted out? I have exactly the same problem.
Thanks
you guys have one more
you guys have one more problem: problem description.
1. what is your feed url that does not work?
2. what is your feedreader and version?
3. what is the error message?
Never got fixed...still waiting and hoping
The url is: helpmerick.com
I have tried Firefox, IE 7, and Pluck as my newsreader. All with no luck.
All the readers simply say, "Feed failed to load" or "unable to read feed"
Thanks for your help.

Got it fixed!!
Just wanted to let whomever might have a similar problem to mine that it turns out that the Atom module that I had installed, prevented the Node/feed to work properly. Once I disabled Atom, the RSS feed worked again. Doh!
I hope this helps someone else...I've been battling this for months!!!

i had same issue, now fixed
to anyone else who has this issue..
i was using blogger.com prior, and hat the atom feed enabled in blogger.com.. apparently that was causing my issue.. i disabled the blogger feed (i guess i could've just shut down the account at this point..), and deleted the rss.xml file.. after then trying to go to www.mysite.com/rss.xml i got the cached xml file (as i had just deleted it), hit refresh, and drupal generated a new rss.xml with all the right stuff in it! (technically it doesnt create a new rss.xml but rather generates it upon request)..
w00t!
so, delete the existing rss.xml in teh root of your site, make sure blogger.com doesnt have feeds turned on, and refresh the link to the xml in your browser and it should be recreated!
