Feedburner RSS 404 Error Page?

[Asher]

Hi Warriors,

I've not had this problem before but it's been a while
so maybe I forgot how to do it. I've been trying to add
a site to my FeedBurner account but everytime I try to
add a new site for RSS, it says "Not Found - Error 404".

http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/addfeed

Anyone else knows how I can fix this?

Here's what I did:

1. Downloaded and installed feedburner_feedsmith_plugin_2.3
2. Activated it
3. Checked my site - yep, /feed/ is there
4. Tried to bring it into Feedburner
5. Hit the Error page.

This may be an issue with your .htaccess file

Login to the wp-admin panel and go to Settings-Permalinks

Down the bottom of the page you may see some errors talking about problems writing to the .htaccess file.

If so:
Look in the directory where the blog is installed and check the permissions to the file - make sure it is writeable (change to 666 temporarily at least).

Update the Permalinks settings (change one of the radio buttons for permalink option), and then save the settings.

Try to add the feed again with Feedburner.

Then again, it might not be this issue at all ;-)

Eh, I changed the permissions and now the whole site
is unaccessible... says 403 Error. Nuts.

Always difficult to debug from afar. Change 'em back - probably something different.

When it's back to how it was, plug your feed url in here:
W3C Feed Validation Service, for Atom and RSS

Hopefully this will give you more clues.

Thanks for trying, Tom.

I'm headed to my hosting online support for debugging
and help.
