I have difficulties with my RSS-Feed. It works just fine, the validators like it and some RSS-Clients i tried have no difficulties, too.

But... I can't define the correct MimeType for the feed because it is an .php-file.

Having seen this Google-Query:
http://www.google.de/search?q=psp+laust ... rt=10&sa=N
I'm on the first place (because of a misspelling of lautstaerke, but anyway...)
BUT: Google writes "Fileformat unknown" and links directly to my RSS-Feed (http://www.gibts-doch-garnicht.de/index ... /index.rss)
Of course I want the visitors to visit my HTML-Pages, not the RSS-Feed.

What can I do, it's my own dedicated server, I can configure whatever is needed in the apache

Hi!

Hm, with this google query you're not on the first page anymore to me. Place #1 is http://www.weltweit-akku.de/product_inf ... ts_id/2081

RSS Feeds don't have a mimetype, they set a content-type. So, actually the bug is with google who does not seem to properly index RSS Feeds and links to the permalinks within RSS feeds.

You are right, I'm the first entry on the second page (and the google-url has something like start=10).

And of course you are right - it's not the the MimeType, it's the ContentType (shame on me)... So I looked in rss.php and found After searching a little bit in the web I found some pages, e.g. this one: http://www.petefreitag.com/item/381.cfm
and therfor I changed this line to I'll watch if it's better now

Hi!

Okay, I'd be interested in how that changes things. I think there once was a reason why we used text/xml instead of application/rss+xml. I think mainly for Atom Feeds that should render on-screen with a XSLT, but I don'T remember...
