RSS feed not found

Can anyone give me a few reasons why an RSS feed would not be found?

Wordpress site with Thesis theme. A few static pages and a couple posts. Permalink structure is postname. When I try to subscribe in the address bar it takes me to: "http://mysitename.com/feed/" There it has the title and tagline of my site, but says "page not found".

I've tried to validate through W3, but also get "not found". Any ideas?

    Have you tried to disable all plugins and try again? Sometimes, it is possible that one of your plugin can cause this.

    Another clue: It appears I'm having this problem on a site that is on a shared hosting plan. My other sites are all hosted individually and have no problems. The main site in the public html works fine, but it's an addon domain I'm having the problem with.

    Have you checked your source code to see if the Header it's calling the Feed?

    Fernando, yes, it is in the head tag. It has this in the header: (with the correct domain name of course)

    Code:
    <link href="http://mydomainname.com/feed/" title="mydomainname RSS Feed" type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate">
    I really think this has to do with the addon domains. In several accounts I have, the RSS feeds work fine for the main domain, but I'm getting "page not found" for RSS feeds in the addon domain in the same account.

    Weird indeed..

    If the plugins were already disabled, and it did not work, then I have no idea, sorry

    Resolved: I'm not sure what it was, but as soon as I made a new post, it showed up with all previous posts. Seems to be working fine now.
