   This a new installation of Worpress 3.0.4 with no plug-ins(I deleted the 2 that came with it).
   It is installed at http://www.napaexcellence.ca/cms/en

   I have set the Theme to 2010. I want the Constructor theme in the end.

   http://www.napaexcellence.ca/cms/en/feed does not work
   http://www.napaexcellence.ca/cms/en/?feed=rss does work

   I want to use categories and subcategories to select posts
   http://www.napaexcellence.ca/cms/en/category/announcements/feed does not work
   http://www.napaexcellence.ca/cms/en/?feed=rss&cat=19 does work.

   What have I done wrong?

   I changed the permalink to /%category%/%postname%/ and that was even worse.
   .../feed still did not work and it remaps the URLS so that .../?feed=rss gets mapped to .../feed/rss which does not work.
   So I had no working RSS feed.

   I changed the permalink back to the default but it still does the remapping.

   Is there any way to avoid dumping the installation and starting over?

   /feed only works with some sort of permalink structure set up other than default

   ?feed=rss2 is the default until you set up permalinks

   So the issue is getting permalinks setup and running.... are you having difficulty there?

   I seem to have made a bit of a mess doing it.

   As I mentioned above I tried to change from default to /%category%/%postname%/.
   The permalinks associated with the posts looked like I expected them to but the URL
   .../feed did not return any posts. Apache just complained that the page was not found with a 404 error
   Not Found
   The requested URL /cms/en/feed was not found on this server.
   http://www.napaexcellence.ca/cms/en/?feed=rss
   gets rewritten as
   http://www.napaexcellence.ca/cms/en/feed/rss/
   with the same 404.

   I tried to go back to the default but even though the permalinks on the posts look OK when I click on view page, I get an error.

   I have done a bit more reading on Permalinks and found a bunch of things to do to Apache to enable the URL rewriting.
   I will have to restart the server later tonight and hope I got everything right.

   I added a LoadModule for mod_rewrite to Apache and restarted without upsetting any of the other websites.

   The permalink structure is set to /%category%/%postname%/

   less /var/www/www.napaexcellence.ca/cms/en/.htaccess shows

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /cms/en/
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /cms/en/index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   # END WordPress

   The permalink looks ok on the post edit page.
   If I try to follow the permalink from the edit post page I get the following

   Apache access log
   127.0.0.1 - - [19/Jan/2011:14:29:37 -0500] "GET /cms/en/welcome/welcomeuap/skillsoft-courses/ HTTP/1.0" 404 242
   Apache error log

   What am I doing wrong?
   Any ideas about where to look next?

   Hi everyone,
   At times, i'll notice in firefox, camino, safari, flock and opera all would bounce out of my site into a blank page. I was trying to routinely set up my RSS URL and came across an invalid feed address error. I went to feedvalidator.org and showed an error
   that my feed does not validate.
   My blog is live, all my plug-ins are compatible and everything lookes to be working fine. It isn’t…
   Dlvr.it and feedburner can't detect my feed URL
   After unsubscribing to my own feed, I found that when I tried to re-subscribe, my RSS reader reported the feed was invalid.
   After a little Google-ing, it turns out to be a fairly common problem that WordPress ( or some plug-ins… ) can sometimes add a single blank link to one of your php files, typically your wpconfig.php file, after an upgrade.
   In some cases this results in your blog loading only a WHITE SCREEN, a fairly obvious problem that I'm getting in 5 browsers… In others the result is more subtle.
   Here's the error I need help fixing please.

   Server returned HTTP Error 404: Not Found

   line 16, column 16: lastBuildDate must be an RFC-822 date-time: [help]
   <lastBuildDate></lastBuildDate>

   Have you tried:

   - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

   - switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

   - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

   - re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress?

   - increasing the memory available to PHP?

   I seem to be having the same problem. It's with a new install of the latest wordpress and I did start out with the twentyten theme to rule that out, and tried via disableing all the plugins. I'm just getting a blank page. I had started with no plugins activated anyway, so that can't really be it. I've reinstalled the wordpress files and it's still going on.

   Anyone got a fix?
