Movable Type Knowledge Base: 404 for XML files on IIS

Question

When I click the Syndicate this site link on my site, I get a 404 error from my IIS server.

Answer

This must be corrected in the server configuration.

Enabling Extension file .rdf in IIS 6.0

Go to IIS Management Console.
Right click on "local computer".
Click properties.
Click the "MIME Types" button.
Click "New".
Type ".rdf" into the MIME Type extension textbox.
Type "text/rdf" into the MIME Type extension textbox.
Keep clicking OK until you've exited.
Repeat for any other extensions you want (rss, xml, zip, tar any others that aren't already set).
Restart IIS Server.
