Hi,

 

I'm running dnn 5.1.1 and have a fully functional localhost site with two News feeds (on the home page) from internal pages......and the RSS feeds work just fine.

On moving the site to the hosting site, I get the dreaded Feed 'http://www.careers45.co.za/JobSeeker/CurrentJobs/tabid/89/moduleid/488/RSS.aspx' could not be loaded. Error: Download error.

 

Ok, so I go and verify that I can view the content in a browser, and the content is ok. 

I then go an an run tests on my feeds using WC3 Feed Validation Services (http://validator.w3.org/feed/) and I get the following as a result:

 

Sorry

This feed does not validate.

• line 1, column 1334: guid values must not be duplicated within a feed: http://www.careers45.co.za/JobSeeker/CurrentJobs.aspx (3 occurrences) [help]

  ... reers45.co.za/JobSeeker/CurrentJobs.aspx</guid></item><item><title>Jobs  ...
                                               ^

In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

• line 1, column 360: Email address is missing real name [help]

  ... ght><webMaster>webmaster@careers45.co.za</webMaster><item><title>Jobs </ ...
                                               ^

• line 1, column 2262: Missing atom:link with rel="self" [help]

  ... JobSeeker/CurrentJobs.aspx</guid></item></channel></rss>
                                               ^

I then run a WC3 Markup Validation check (http://validator.w3.org/) and get this result:

 

This document was successfully checked as well-formed XML!

 

So now what.....I'm lost.......I have searched everywhere and can't for the life of me find something concrete to correct this problem. It looks like it's been a sore point for more than a year as there are tons of threads with this issue, but no definitive fix.......

So anyway, as a last test, I insert the live RSS feed (the one listed above with the dreaded error) into my localhost sites home page in the news feed..... and it works......now I'm even more confused (I initially thought this was a db permissions error perhaps at the hosting site....this surely rules that out)

 

Please any and all help would be appreciated to get this error sorted out.

 

Kind Regards

Dave

 

 

 

 

 

I have this same issue. My feed works locally, but not on the server.

This is my feed: http://teamelevatecycles.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

Do I need to tell my firewall folks to let blogspot.com through?? 

Thanks! 

if the site is on the same server as the rss feed is coming from, make sure your server can access that site (try navigating there with a browser).

If not, change the hosts file so that you can reach it. Basically the rss feed can't be found because the site can't be found.
