Yahoo Submission Problems

I've registered for a Yahoo Application ID and have keyed the ID into the admincp, yet my Yahoo Ping always fails. When I try to manually submit the URL to my urllist.txt.gz file to Yahoo, I get a "Your submission request was not accepted" error. When I SSH into the server, I see the file here:

www.mysite.com/forums/vbseo_sitemap/data/urllist.txt.gz

Yet Yahoo isn't accepting it and if I try putting that URL into my browser, I get a 500 Internal Server Error. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hello Jon ,

You shall use www.mysite.com/forums/urllist.txt.gz to submit your sitemap

The file doesn't exist in that folder, though. It only exists in the /forums/vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder. I still get the same error from Yahoo when I attempt the URL you suggested.

Hello,

Yahoo now supports xml sitemaps, so you can submit www.mysite.com/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz

should we use

sitemap_index.xml.gz

or

urllist.txt.gz

for yahoo?

You should submit sitemap_index.xml.gz.
