rss fails with pretty permalinks

During set up of wordpress I see that rss feeds work fine with default permalinks setting. When I alter permalinks to prettified option (date, postname) rss no longer displays, but instead returns:

“The requested URL /feed was not found on this server.”

Using default permalinks RSS displays fine with link ending /?feed=rss2

How can I have rss with prettified permalinks?

Affecting also posts display, this seems to be an .htaccess problem, but I am using the wp-generated file:

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

.htaccess instructions were overridden by /etc/apache2/sites-available/my-wp-site

revising the latter solved the issue

I am having the same problem as mdl90 and Oyinko and I don’t understand why another topic needs to be posted. I have checked and checked and checked and cannot find a solution to this problem anywhere on this website.

My feed was working great and apparently sometime last week just stopped working. I noticed this when my posts were not being syndicated to other services that subscribed to the feed.

The feed address is: http://www.catawbavalleycitizen.com/feed/

Permalinks work find, just that the feed is broken. Can someone please advise what we can do to fix this problem?

typical “safe mode on” problem.
