RSS Feed error = no LiveMessage by linx05 on 04-19-2005 at 10:09 AM

Ok, I have been having problems getting LiveMessage to work. I have tried emailing them but they said my RSS feed has errors in it.

I use RSS Builder and other people say it works fine for them.

Is it a server issue? Is there something wrong with the server I have the feed on. As you can see by the help link it gave me, it made me think it was a server issue.

Can anybody help me? I've been trying to work out how to fix it for ages...

Try changing the MIME-type to 'text/xml'.

What hosting have you got?

if its php add this to the top of your php document like..

code:
<?php
Header ("Content-type: text/xml");
?>

It isn't php. It is hosted on my ISPs server. So strictly html files and such.

It would help if you took the two minutes it takes to learn RSS syntax instead of using some program like RSSBuilder.

Is the RSS file you upload .xml? If so, your ISP is delivering this as application/octet-stream, so basically either:
  • Upload it as HTML with an <?xml?> header
  • Move to a different webhost

Thanks raceprouk. I've tried everything but nothing work. Looks like I'll have to find a different host just for the RSS feed.

Thanks!
