RSS Feed problems

However, the geeklog.rss file is empty and I have the premissions set correctly. Using the content syndication menu in the admin section, I am able to create a feed for "events" only and that works correctly.
Why is the geeklog.rss file not being populated??

I suspect that none of your topics grant read permissions to the anonymous user.

They are set to 777.
That is probaby what is causing it.....never thought to check that.

Should this allow the story to be written to the rss feed but in order to follow the link and view the whole story, you would have to log in?
Is this not the way it should work?

I noticed that a podcatcher programme like "Juice" hangs up when a single character is not correct in a feed. E.g. the feed is declared as UTF-8 but there are non utf-8 signs in it.
The question is HOW did you do this?
I got a similar problem with my feed http://www.hallomarkus.de/backend/podcast-technik
It is declared as utf-8 but contains wrong signs as it seems. I noticed it is those signs which I wrote in the FCKed. The editor turned ä into ä which basically correct but the feed reads À

Please try RSS validator http://rss.scripting.com/ there are errors in your characters.

Okay I managed to fix one of the items it was complaining about and that was the needed mime type in the web server. For the rest of them, they are listed below and can't figure out where they are being picked up from. I looked in the config.php file and made a small change for the %Z and changed it to EST, but that didn't help. It was still reporting the same error even after recreating the rss file. Your link to rss.scripting.com was broken or script timed out.
This feed does not validate.

I don't think spaces are allowed in the name of an HTTP header field and it should probably start with an X- anyway:
The other error seems to be fixed now? RFC822 doesn't allow for "Eastern Standard Time" as a timezone. It should be (and is now) "EST".
bye, Dirk

Your site is sending this as an HTTP header:

Finally, thanks Dirk for the insight. I had entered info into the custom HTTP headers on IIS and didn't realize this was causing problems for validation. I may have not entered the correct values, eitherway I just removed it and This Site Created By that the validator was complaining about, disappeared. As for the timezone issue, I had to go into the registry on the server to change the long array that says the full name of (location) Standard Time and (location) Daylight Savings Time on these two lines to a abbreviated 3 character set to allow the validator to pass the page. The following registry settings will allow for the change.
This is the key that is modified on 2000 and XP for that matter.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones
Look for the time zone you want to change and then click on that key. Then open the Dlt and Std keys one at a time to change the value to a 3 letter set. Example: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones\Eastern Standard Time Value Data EST and EDT respectfully.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation appears to be the time zone setting that is currently in affect on the machine.

I just wonder what`s wrong with my feed? Is this a bug?

I don't know if this will help you, but look here and it'll give you more details. By the way, your feed does load up in RSSReader. So it works as far as I can tell.

So there seems to be a bug with the content syndication and utf-8. Can somebody confirm that?

Erm, I just reset all the settings of the feed, wrote utf-8 instead of UTF-8 and so on and now it works automatically.
That was a self repairing bug.
