    Failed opening required ‘XML/RSS.php’ - Solved

    http://www.u-g-h.com/2008/09/29/failed-opening-required-xmlr...

    And would you know it .. the problem is now solved! I thought I’d document the process here for two reasons. If you’re trying to solve this problem you may find these steps useful. You may need this if you go into fixing people’s technical problems, there may be a franchise opportunity there somewhere.
