    Another sitemap question

    sorry guys

    I have installed the sitemap and can generate it no problems

    The vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap has been successfully generated for your vBulletin forums at:
    the name of my forums (http://www.mysite.co.uk/forum)

    Report:

    If I click on: http://www.mysite.co.uk/forum/vbseo_sitemap/ i get a 404 error.

    If I click on http://www.mysite.co.uk//forum/vbseo_sitemap/ it works

    Putting the url in my google account

    http://www.mydomain.co.uk/sitemap_index.xml.gz comes up with an error :(

    http://mydomain.co.uk/sitemap_index.xml.gz comes up with an error :(

    I have windows server with isapi rewrite and the httpd.ini is correct as Oleg did it, it has to be something I have done wrong. I also have vBadanced installed and tried uncommenting the line in the relevant file.

    In case of IIS, you should use http://www.mysite.co.uk/forum/vbseo_sitemap/index.php URL

    Putting the url in my google account

    http://www.mydomain.co.uk/sitemap_index.xml.gz comes up with an error

    http://mydomain.co.uk/sitemap_index.xml.gz comes up with an error
    This one is correct:

    Thank you again Oleg

    However i now get

    The Sitemap must be located at mydomain.co.uk. To add a Sitemap at http://www.mydomain.co.uk/forum/, first add that site to your account and then, click the Add a Sitemap link beside it.

    So do i have to add:

    http://www.mydomain.co.uk/forum/ as another site on my google account?

    Thankyou again - did it first time

    Can I offer some criticism to the staff / product arrangers

    Please can you update the instructins that come with the product?

    I will do an idiots guide if you would like for IIS as Oleg has taught me a lot in a few days.

    The instructions you give out at the moment could be an awful lot better and would cut down on the simple questions I have asked as a none technical person. To me the instructions are too complex and do not favour IIS whatsoever.

    Thank you for your feedback, Ged! We didn't update the documentation yet since vBSEO Sitemap Generator v1.7 is still in pre-release stage and has not been officially released.
