I have just done the updates as per your post. The RSS link shows fine but the rss.gif does not. When testing the RSS link, It returns a server error. Extension Manager seems to run fine but what it looks like is it is not creating the auction.xml file. I have looked through these forums and checked that I do have 0755 set on the auction directory. Any other reasons that may cause this failure?
I'm a little confused. Do I have an RSS generator that will generate an actual RSS feed or do I not? I'm just confused I guess about what the RSS generator that you say I do have is supposed to do exactly.\
Thanks!
