I appreciate your help Jeremy. Here is what I tried:

Calling script with following all on one line:

And received the following error message at hostgator:

I also tried the following:

I read on the forum that I cannot use a subdomain. Does shared hosting on host gator count as a subdomain?

I am not very savy with html but have managed to have success in designing
my own RE website. I am trying to have an RSS feed from another site display
on mine and have downloaded the rss2html scrip from www.feedforall.com. I placed
the php file in my web and copied/pasted the rss info from the website that I
am trying to get the rss feed from. It displays exactly as I have it located
in the html. I know that I am doing something majorly wrong. Thank you for
any help.

queemat,

If you would, create a new thread, that way we can keep the replies on your issue and the replies on duckman's issue separate.

duckman,

Sorry for the delay.

I think the problem is related to rights on your webserver, but can't tell for sure.

Can you create a file named test-feed.xml and put it in the same folder on your webserver as the rss2html.php file?

Inside the testfeed.xml file put the following:

Code:

? ?
? ? ? ? Test Feed
? ? ? ? Test RSS Feed
? ? ? ? http://www.feedforall.com
? ? ? ? http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss
? ? ? ? en-us
? ? ? ? Sun, 15 Jan 2012 14:38:45 -0500
? ? ? ? Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:00:00 -0500
? ? ? ? FeedForAll v2.0 (2.0.1.0) http://www.feedforall.com
? ? ? ?
? ? ? ? ? ? Test Item
? ? ? ? ? ? This is a feed item
? ? ? ? ? ? http://www.feedforall.com
? ? ? ? ? ? Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:00:00 -0500
? ? ? ?
? ?

Also, make sure the sample-template.html file that came with rss2html.php is in the same folder on your webserver as the rss2html.php file.

When you have that done, please post that back here and I will run a couple of test to see if my suspicions are correct or not.

Thanks

After having a look at things, it's definitely some sort of permissions issue with the web server. Try to open up this standard rss2html build statement:

http://www.feelgoodgifts.com/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://feelgoodgifts.com/test-feed.xml&TEMPLATE=http://www.feelgoodgifts.com/sample-template.html

I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error, which is indicating that the rss2html.php script is inaccessible. You may want to speak with your web server's administrator about that.
