[resolved] RSS feed not working - 'It looks like this is a web page, not a feed.' (3 posts)

    Unfortunately, it looks like my feed has stopped working.

    It should be at http://othersideofscience.com/?feed=rss2 but it just comes up with an index page, which is actually http://othersideofscience.com/feed

    Have I accidentally set up a redirect link? Is this why it is not working?

    Feed validator says:

    It looks like this is a web page, not a feed. I looked for a feed associated with this page, but couldn't find one. Please enter the address of your feed to validate.
    Source: http://othersideofscience.com/?feed=rss2

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Index of /feed</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h1>Index of /feed</h1>

    </body></html>

    Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

    http://othersideofscience.com/feed is your RSS feed link and I can't see any problem with that feed.

    Thanks esmi, I found that a folder had for some reason been created in my server called feed, and so http:othersideofscience.com/feed would redirect to that empty folder. All that I had to do was delete that folder and the RSS feed worked again!
