Hello,
I tried looking for a solution on the forums but was unbale to find it, so I am hoping that somebody could help me with my problem. The problem is that the rss feeds cause a 403 on my site. The site is http://www.thepoddepot.com. When I try to access the http://www.thepoddepot.com/feed/ page, I get the following message: "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /feed/ on this server."
However, I have no problem accessing feeds of individual posts. Has anybody seen this error? And more importantly, how can I fix it?
Thanks

OK. I found out the issue. I had created an initial folder called /feed before installing wordpress. There was a conflict with this folder. Removing this folder fixed the problem.

Thank you, thank you for posting this!
I spent two hours trying to figure why my browser RSS button was returning the same 403 that you mentioned.
I wanted to alter the code to refer to Feedburner (using instructions at http://haris.tv/2007/05/10/setup-your-wordpress-blog-with-feedburner/ ) but I kept seeing that pesky 403 when I clicked on the RSS button.
Finally, I found this post... and I'd done the same thing as you. I had a Magpie /feed folder in my root directory. I deleted it and -- bingo -- the problem's solved.
If you hadn't posted this, I might still be wrestling with the RSS feed link.
Whew! Thanks!
