Your Google Sitemap Index URL

Try renaming the file after you upload it to your server and rename it exactly like

Code:

.htaccess

when i renamed it with the dot, it disappears and i also lost my forum.
the
.htaccess became invisible and my host had to find it and rename back without the dot for my forum to re-appear.

There must be a leading dot in filename. You can create file as htaccess.txt, upload it to your server and then rename to ".htaccess" using your FTP software.

as soon as i put the (DOT) in front of the htaccess it turns invisible, if i try to rename on my computer it want let me.

It is normal that it becomes invisible. Your sitemap is working fine now - http://www.forumcentral1.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz
Congratulations

I go here:

But there is no file.

This is my .htaccess:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums)
#RewriteBase /
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) yourdomain.com [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron)
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|gif)$
RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
