sitemap and .htaccess file

I installed vbSEO per the install instructions and the instructions stated that the .htaccess file should go in the forum root directory.

So I uploaded the .htaccess file to my forums directory. And things seem to be working but then I read the following thread...

Sitemap ???

and I had the same problem as the thread starter in that thread in submitting the sitemap to google via google webmasters. I had to create an additiona site for http://www.mysite.com/forums/ because it wouldn't accept just http://www.mysite.com.

But in the thread linked above, it states that the .htaccess file should go in my root directory?

Do i upload the htaccess file included with the distribution to both my root AND forums directories?

Thank you

Hello,

sitemap is created in the forums folder by default and you should not modify .htaccess in this case (just created a new site entry in webmaster account for that).
But it's also possible to move sitemap to the domain root as described Sitemap:FAQ - VBSEO Wiki and another .htaccess file should be created in this case.
