The RSS feeds are not working as of the 1.5.2 release. I have a small wiki farm set up for a handful of wiki's. I tracked the problem down to the following. If you try the RSS feed right after you install a new wiki, it will work fine. If you try it after editing or changing anything that will create a recent entry the rss feed generation creates a blank line at the start of the file which causes the rss file to not be valid. Is there a quick fix to this?
Please check your LocalSettings.php and other files you've modified for extra whitespace at the beginning or end of the file. This is by far the most frequent cause of failed RSS feeds.
There do not appear to be any extra whitespace. Like i stated above, the rss feed works fine on a fresh install until anything is changed. That would lead me to believe it is something else? This wiki does use LDAP authentication if that could somehow be involved.
Make an actual fresh install, that does not contain third-party plugins. Then, very carefully provide exact, detailed instructions on reproducing the "changes" until it stops working. I am unable to reproduce the reported problem on a 1.5 test wiki after editing pages.

The LdapAuthentication.php file had 2 spaces after the closing php tag. Why would that break the rss? All is correct now.
Those spaces go into output, and XML is anal about the file header.
