I originally made some podcasts and the feeds seemed to work. And then I changed to the Podcasting plugin. I changed the directory of my feeds to http://www.mysite.com/feed/podcast. Now my feed links that I have on my index page don't work the same anymore. The iTunes feed doesn't work at all suddenly and the rss2 feed goes to a plain directory listing like this:
Index of /feed/podcast
Parent Directory
HPAY-001.mp3
HPAY-002.mp3
HPAY-003.mp3
HPAY-004.mp3
HPAY-005.mp3
I tried a couple different variations but it seems like there must be something I'm missing that needs to be changed. Shouldn't this type of URL work for itunes:
itpc://www.mysite.com/feed/podcast/
Any ideas?
The issue is where the files are stored. You can't have the files stored at /feed/podcast and have the actual feed reside at /feed/podcast/ with the Podcasting plugin. If you move those files (and update the links), /feed/podcast/ will work. Alternatively, you can use /?feed=podcast to get the feed and leave the files in their place.

OK, it works now with ?feed=podcast. Sorry but I don't understand about the directories. How do you get that they are stored in '/feed/podcast'? My feed link was with the ending /feed/podcast/. If my files are in the directory 'podcast' which is in the directory 'feed' doesn't that mean that they are stored in /feed/podcast/?
Yes, they are stored in /feed/podcast/ for you, but that's the problem. The directory listing takes over the feed and you end up with just a list of files.
To not get the list of files, the podcast episodes need to be stored somewhere different. They can be in /podcast/ /downloads/ /feed/something/ whatever, just anywhere other than /feed/podcast/.
