Thank you to Patrick and Randy for the suggestions!<br>
<br>
I've got AllRecentChanges back again - great! But I'm still stuck on the RSS feed - it seems to be something else. I agree it might help to upgrade PMWiki, but I view that with well-learned fear and trepidation. The actual problem is an error 500.<br>
<br>
Is there a log somewhere that would tell me what's caused the problem?<br>

Subject: Re: [pmwiki-users] How to fix broken RSS feed and AllRecentChanges?<br>
<br>
It's possible that the two problems are related... the AllRecentChanges page may have gotten too large for PmWiki to update properly, and the RSS feed likes to use (All)RecentChanges to generate its content.<br>
<br>
I suggest shortening (or removing/renaming) the AllRecentChanges page and see if it starts working again, then see if the RSS feed comes back.<br>
