.htaccess and existing sitemap.xml

I already have a sitemap.xml for my static pages at root/.

Does my .htaccess redirect access to that sitemap.xml in /forum/vbseo_sitemap?

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ forum/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

I have two sitemaps registered with Google. How do I make sure they are both accessed by Google?

sitemap.xml (static map)
sitemap_1.xml.gz (vbseo map)

Thanks.

Yes, you should change vBSEO's rewrite rules to avoid this:

Code:

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ forum/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

(notice underscore added).

Thanks Oleg,
I've made that change. Now, when I send my browser to www.mysite.com/sitemap_1.xml.gz, it downloads the vBSEO sitemap. When I go to www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml.gz, I get an error message "Sitemap file not found". That is my gsitecrawler generated sitemap.

Do you know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.

It's OK now. I must not have done the .htaccess edit right the first time.
Thanks again for the great support. Now we get to wait and see how Google treats us!

Great!
