Anyone here know if I have to add something to my apache configuration file so that it serves a .rss? I can get to the site with no trouble, but if I tell it adv.rss, instead of index.php, I get "not found". The file's in the same directory, and ownership & permissions are correct.

rss is a format, not just a standard file,
assuming that the rss file is properly formated, and you want this rss
file to be displayed instead of index.(php/html/etc...) add it to your
index listings in httpd.conf
however i have never tried this, and dont know if apache knows how to
interpret an rss file, you might need a backend (php/asp/java something
or other) converter.

I've tried
AddType application/xml .rss
which I gather from googling is suggested, but still no joy. I'll try adding it
as a doc index when I get back to work manana....

Apache isn't doing the interpreting, just handing it off. This whole effort's,
that this is the last part of, has been an incredible
no-one-knows-nothing-but-we're-going-to-do-it....

Thanks for the suggestion.

in that case just use .htaccess to serve the rss file as the index.
