Subject: kml/georss "File Not Found" redux
Back in April I posted a similar thread to this, and I am unhappy to
say that I still have not figured this one out :(   I have tried many
things, endless mime type configurations, htaccess files, you name
it.   This one is killing me!!!!!!

So here we go:

I have a feed on my website that I want to ultimately use via the
GGeoXML api class, but since that is throwing me no error information,
I figure I would just plug my kml and georss feeds in good old
maps.google.com and let that map it out.  For example:

KML (as file):
http://maps.google.com/?q=http://www.crankfire.com/news/feeds/gf.kml

KML (as dynamic feed):
http://maps.google.com/?q=http://www.crankfire.com/news/feeds/geofeed...

GeoRSS (as file):
http://maps.google.com/?q=http://www.crankfire.com/news/feeds/gf.rss

GeoRSS (as dynamic feed):
http://maps.google.com/?q=http://www.crankfire.com/news/feeds/geofeed...

All of the above give me this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
File not found at http://www.crankfire.com/ne....

Suggestions:

    * Make sure the URL is spelled correctly.
    * Make sure the file exists.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------

Now here is where it gets more interesting, if I take those files and
put them on a different server, they work just fine:

KML (as file):
http://maps.google.com/?q=http://cloud.dreamhosters.com/gf.kml

GeoRSS (as file):
http://maps.google.com/?q=http://cloud.dreamhosters.com/gf.rss

So something must be up with my server right?  Ok, sniffing out my
mime types I get:

KML (as file):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
HTTP/1.1·200·OK(CR)(LF)
Date:·Fri,·17·Aug·2007·15:33:32·GMT(CR)(LF)

Content-Type:·application/georss+xml(CR)(LF)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------

Mime types seem fine right?

Now to make things ever more interesting, plug any of my "not working
on google feeds" into something like acme's google based mapper
( http://www.acme.com/GeoRSS/about.html ) and they work just ducky.

A few other tidbits:
1) Those files are pretty small, so I am sure I am not reaching any
google file size limits
2) When I submit the request to google maps, I can see google show up
in my websites "Latest Visitors" log.
3) I am not blocking any IP's and I have no leech or hotlink
protection currently activated.
4) This one is making my head hurt.

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Nate

Subject: Re: kml/georss "File Not Found" redux
Sorry should have said u CAN"T pass qurey strings that way because
they will be interpreted by
maps.google.com not u're server. I get around that problem by
reconstructing the url, into something like this:
http://maps.google.com/?q=http://www.crankfire.com/news/feeds/geofeed...

u'll have to split the url into an array using "/"  ...

then pass the appropriate part of the array to the same function u're
using to interpret the querystring.

Hopes that helps.
Cheers,
Mo

that's tough to see ...

u're url might look like this:
http://www.crankfire.com/news/feeds/geofeeds.php/r/k
rather than this:
http://www.crankfire.com/news/feeds/geofeeds.php?d=r&t=k

Have you checked your access logs to see if Google have actully accessed
your files?

One thing I notice is your robots.txt is blank, you might be better
returning a 404 or putting some meaningful content in there. Because it
doest specificlly allow Google to access your site at present.

Barry:

I did check my recently visited and such and can see google accessing
me.   I filled in my robots.txt file as well, no luck, but thanks for
pointing that out!

Mo:

I did read something along those lines which is why I was toying
around with the more simple / non-query string "gf.kml" and "gf.rss"
files

Thanks though!   I will plan on rewriting those urls if I can ever get
it to work :)

ISSUE RESOLVED!  Found something here:

http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&goto=37006&

That said to give this a try:

http://www.wimpyplayer.com/support/faqs/docs/php_406_not_acceptable.html

Threw in a htaccess file that disabled "mod security" for the folder
serving my rss/kml:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Figured I would post it up here because this one was a serious ball
buster for me and I wish it on no one else.  Ever.

Thanks you for everyones suggestions and help!
