mmm.... im tying myself in knots.Think i might have to eject on this one. Dont know enough yet to sort it out ! It does seem to be some kind of weird path offset.If i move processxml to root ..it goes one step further but gives a whole list of other errors looking for stuff.

Has anyone else had a prob? its the standard download install.

cheers for your help anyway.

you're getting close... if it went further with processxml in the root then it is all a pathing problem.

Probably, in the processxml.php file it is looking for other files that are in the same place as it, or at least is expecting them to be somewhere .. well, expected.

Here's another thing to try - put the processxml.php file back where you got it. Then change the .htaccess file - eliminate the forward slash in front of the processxml.php directive, so it looks like this:

rewriteengine on
Rewriterule feeds/(.+)\.xml$ processxml.php?id=$1
Rewriterule feeds/(.+)\.html$ processhtml.php?id=$1

I'm not sure, but I think that will do it, or at least get you further along.

This thread has been here for a year?  omg!

Anyways, when  I click NEXT to go to the second page of this thread, I wind up at Re: Perk's Spider Source


Yah, never use a / there.

The basic idea is that you generate XML feeds with auto generated content

My blogs already do that by themselves.

and have each story within the feed link to a site you wish to generate links for.

Yes, when I post to my blogs, my posts already contain links to wherever I want.

Once the feed has been created and you ping blog search
engines like technorati then the idea is that scraper sites will pick up your feed

Would someone please tell me how this is any different than just pinging the feeds of the blogs that I already own?


Maybe this was intended for non-blog sites?

morning everyone

ok... still cant get it to work.Got to the stage now though were i get a browser error saying:

Safari can’t open the page “feed://domain/feed/feeds/5.xml” because it could not load any data from this location.

oh well !

Maybe im approaching this the wrong way anyway. Blog blog blog seems to be the consensus everywhere.Im trying to  non blogs going using rss and text generator im working on.... total noob to programing  though so im sure till take a while !

Do you guys think i should go the blog route?Sorry...prolly the wrong thread for that question.

feed is not a protocol, it needs to be http:// etc.

sorry...should have said.

Thats the message from the internal link to feed.Even if you change it to http in address bar it redirects to feed://

Glance at this blog http://blackhatbootcamp.com/blog and if interested, take the boot camp tour.

yes, download WordPress and get started there... since you're a n00b programmer this makes a lot of sense.

On the Mac in Safari, that's what the browser URL bar changes to Bomps. That's an OK url according to Safari, but clearly, the server is just not connected up right.

no worries my friend, that's cool.

Yes Dee, you might want to take a look at the BHBC package if you're going that direction. Bomps is the man.

I dont doubt for a second bompa is the man. Looks great.... might have to take the long route though.With a newborn dont think the boss would like me spending on stuff she doesnt understand !    I guess i could say it was buying her a new hat !

I know..i know.... your heart is breaking i can tell....
