I keep getting hits in my server log from googlebot looking for 3 files (/index.rdf, /rss.xml, /atom.xml) i assume these correspond to the files /wp-rdf.php, /wp-rss.php, /wp-atom.php how to make a request to /rdf.xml translate to /wp-rdf.php ?
First i symlinked wp-rdf.php to rdf.xml however rdf files will not be parsed by the PHP interpreter so i used this block of code inside a .htaccess file

<filesmatch ".(xml|rdf)$">
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</filesmatch>

Then had to edit /etc/apache-ssl/httpd.conf and allow this command (specifially the ForceType thing)
this is accomplished by changing
AllowOverride none
to
AllowOverride FileInfo
and now my blog is google-compliant!
i'm getting 100's of hits from blog indexers which is pretty cool.
