Your Google Sitemap Index URL

hello, i just downloaded the vbseo from vb-org


and im just wondering why the:

Your Google Sitemap Index URL does not work can i ask what i have forgot todo?

or?

thx jaycob.

Hello,

what is the error you get?

sorry silly me for posting in the wrong spot.

my error:

Not Found

The requested URL /sitemap_index.xml.gz was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at Port 80

Make sure that you created .htaccess file in forums root as described.

sorry man i have not got a clue what you are talking about.

i just uploaded the .htaccess as is.

will this effect anything if the Sitemap Index URL does not work?

Make sure that your host supports mod_rewrite and that it allows rewrite rules in .htaccess files.

my host does allow that.

ok yestersay i installed the youtube hack and i uploaded a .htaccess file with it, would i have to put the site map code in with the other
.htaccess file i just uploaded, and if so whats the code i have to put in please?

thanks.

You should put this to the top of your .htaccess file:

Code:

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

dame im still getting

Not Found

The requested URL /sitemap_index.xml.gz was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at Port 80

What is your current full .htaccess contents?

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

# ofcourse you can rename videos.html and make it for example a non existing directory /videos/ and /videos/videoindex-20.xhtml etc.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.forumcentral1\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.forumcentral1.com/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^videos\.html&page=([0-9]+)$ http://www.forumcentral1.com/videos-page$1.html [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^videos\.html$ index.php?videos=1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^videos-page([0-9]+)\.html$ index.php?videos=$1 [L]

As I see, your rewritten videos URLs are not working either: http://www.forumcentral1.com/videos.html
Seems like mod_rewrite is not functioning on your server (it's either disabled or rewrite rules are not allowed in .htaccess).

omg, is there away around this please?

You should contact your hosting support to enable mod_rewrite.

i just spoke with me host.
