[Koha] Where to place RSS xml output?

[Tim McMahon]

I tried this about a year ago.  The only way I found to get it to work 
(on a test server) was to create new directory (I named it rss) in 
koha/opac/htdocs and access it with http://mycatalog.com/rss/file.xml.

I apologize for that, but please know I invested a couple hours before asking.  Thanks in advance if anyone has tips as to where to place the files, and then, how to access them.
