| Sitemap in www root
A quick question. The .gz files created by vbseo_sitemap are placed in vbseo_sitemap/data. Many sites are setup with vbadvanced in web root and vbulletin in /forums. Rather than use the rewrite rule in .htaccess to rewrite Yahoo and Google from vbseo_sitemap/data to /, is it reasonble to use a cron job to simply copy the sitemap .gz files to the web root. Google specifically state site maps are best placed in web root.

No need to copy them. You can just modify (or create) the .htaccess in the ROOT of your site to make them accessible from there. Code: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /forums/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Hello barroca, the correct URL to your sitemap is: http://x-trad.org/sitemap_index.xml.gz (notice the ".gz" part and no "www." in domain)

Hello Mehmet, you should NOT move the files from vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder to the documents root. Instead, you should create .htaccess file with mod_rewrite directives as specified in installation instructions. That will allow to access sitemap files at the forums root, although files are physically stored in data/ folder.

Your .htaccess file is correct, you can remove sitemap files from the root now and try to access them to make sure it works as expected.

| Re: Sitemap in www root
i cant submit sitemap files to google because of permissions. when i write the adres to explorer i am taking this error below; Code: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /vbseo_sitemap/data/sitemap_1.xml.gz on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. editted. i fixed it now i move htacces file to vbseo_sitemap folder and now i can access sitemap files from browser but when i try to add my sitemaps to google taking this error below; Note: i a writing this sitemap way http://www.xxxxx.com/vbseo_sitemap/d...temap_1.xml.gz (is it true?) Code: The Sitemap must be located at http://www.xxxxxxx.com/. To add a Sitemap at http://www.xxxxxx.com/vbseo_sitemap/data/, first add that site to your account and then click the Add a Sitemap link beside it. |

Hello Mehmet, you should submit http://www.example.com/sitemap_1.xml.gz (NOT http://www.example.com/vbseo_sitemap...temap_1.xml.gz)
