Safari cannot open RSS feeds - "could not load any data from this location"

I can't seem to open any RSS feeds inside of Safari. I get this error message:

Safari can’t open the page “feed://feeds.macworld.com/macworld/all” because it could not load any data from this location.

This has happened on every single feed. I just installed Leopard. Anybody have any hints for me?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5), Safari v3.0.4

Hi

First try Safari from another User Account. When you open Safari, make sure RSS is enabled in the Safari Preferences>RSS. If you can access the feeds there then there may be corruption in either the database or RSS preference files in your Regular User Account. If no go here, then I suggest you reinstall Safari. See this thread for directions.

If the feeds work in the other user account, go back to your regular User Account: Open the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Syndication folder. Move the database3 file to the desktop, then restart Safari. Try an RSS feed. If no change, move the database file back to its original location.

Then move these two preference files in your User Library>Preferences to the desktop:
com.apple.SyndicationAgent.plist and
com.apple.Syndication.plist

Restart Safari. Again, try a feed.

I have exactly the same problem. Since a few days, all feeds refuse to load with the same error message.

I tried all options the poster above mentioned, but nothing fixes the problem. Also, when I try to add a feed in Mail, I get the following error message:

"There was an error updating the RSS feeds.
Mail cannot start a session with the system-wide RSS service. No RSS feeds will be refreshed."

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
