I have a fresh install of ZenPhoto version 1.4.3.1 on my own server (Ubuntu Server 12.04, if that matters) using the ZenPage theme. I can upload/view/download images and video okay. I can create comments on images and video okay as well. Basically, it seems my install is working as it should. However, the RSS feeds aren't actually picking up on any new content (comments, news articles, images, etc). When clicking on the RSS feed link, I don't see any content at all.
I've taken a look through the docs, admin option pages, and forums, but cannot see anything that I missed to enable it. I'm hoping somebody can help me track down the issue (ie. server configuration, plugin configuration, theme configuration). Maybe it's a simple checkbox that I'm missing somehow?
Thanks for your time.

If you still don't get any contents please look into your server error log for any errors and post them.
I looked at the RSS options and saw that the "RSS Cache" option was not enabled (unchecked). Does this mean updates should be real time? One other detail I should probably mention is that I installed it weeks ago, so it's definitely been more than a day for the cache to expire.
So, if I were to enable RSS Cache and set it to 60 seconds, what would happen? Should I expect to see content in the RSS feeds?
What would I look for in the error logs? I see some errors in /var/log/apache2/error.log corresponding with my gallery, but they're mostly PHP warnings about imagecreatefromjpeg() calls.
If that does not work, make sure your images etc are published and not protected, otherwise they will not show up naturally.
If all that applies review the server error log.
Are there any other ways I could keep my users informed of new images and comments?
No, sorry. There is no way unless you mail them manually (there is a mass mail tool for users with mail addresses set) or create your own custom feed bypassing the protection.
