Re: [IUG] Feed Readers

["Schulkins, Joe" <Joseph dot Schulkins at liverpool dot ac dot uk>]

Hello,

The feeds are fine, the problem lies with the server. I think some readers are unable to access/navigate/understand etc. the Millennium server. E.g. in Pageflakes attempting to add the rss feed found at http://138.253.100.105/live/feeds/rsssci.xml displays an error that the location doesn't contain a feed, but going to this url brings up the feed as normal. 

I have found that if the feeds are added to a regular server (i.e. an old PC with Apache 2.0.59 running) so the feed is now found at http://pc072027.lib.liv.ac.uk/rsssci.xml, then the feed is read by Pageflakes.

To get around this problem on a daily basis I'm attempting to set-up an automatic scheduled ftp of the RSS feeds from Millennium to this server.

Hope this helps,
		     Joe.

Hi

We have FeedBuilder installed and have just started testing reading the feeds
with different Feed Readers and have encountered a lot of problems.  For
example, we can read them using Firefox Live Bookmarks, IE7 and FeedReader but
our Web Page Expert has tried reading them with 3 different dedicated RSS
Software readers which rely on "well-formed XML" and they don't work.

I've seen similar problems reported on this list but can't find any mention of
Innovative having come up with a solution.  I have opened a call with them but
wanted to ask you all if anyone has managed to overcome this?

Many thanks.
