 * I have recently installed WordPress 2.9.2. My problem is that whenever I click
   the RSS button, either on the blog page, or in the Firefox address bar, I am 
   treated to the following error message:
 * _You don’t have permission to access /feed on this server
    Additionally, a 403
   Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle
   the request.
 * I have checked the folders on my server to make sure that read/execute permissions
   are available, and there does not seem to be any problem there. The problem is
   also independent of the theme I have installed. So does anybody have any other
   ideas?
 * I have two other WordPress installations, but I do not have this problem with
   them.

 * Have you published any posts yet?

 * Yes, I have published a number of posts. However, I have now discovered a number
   of other internal links which do not seem to be working.
 * I set up “friendly” permalinks BEFORE making any posts. I have never used them
   in previous WordPress installations, and I have never had this problem before.
   Coincidence?

 * UPDATE:
    I only have four posts so fsr, so I cut and pasted them out of WordPress,
   and then deleted them. I changed the Permalinks back to the default. cut and 
   pasted the posts back in, and now most of the broken links seem to be working.
   However, with RSS, I am now getting a different error message:
 * “This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with 
   it. The document tree is shown below”
 * Followed by a lot of XML code.

 * A link to your site would help.

 * That’s actually what you want to see. Your feeds are just XML streams of raw 
   data (code), but if you’re willing to share a link as esmi suggested, we should
   be able to confirm that for you.
