Details for the Yahoo Application ID?

edit, please see below.

OK, my urllist.txt.gz file has appeared now, after a delay ( I assume this is normal ).


The contents of my .htaccess file in root are as follows ( I didn't have a htaccess file in root before):-

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

Does this look OK or do you have to make changes to this file for everything to work correctly?



Many thanks.

Not Found

The requested URL /mysite.com/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php was not found on this server.

I get this ^ when I click on "Your Google Sitemap Index URL" in the AdminCP.

I can see the file in my FTP client though, but the URL is:-

http://www.mysite.com/vbseo_sitemap/...p_index.xml.gz


I have both left "Sitemap Files URL" blank in AdminCP and changed it to what I see as the correct URL through my FTP client but no matter the setting I put, both still give the error.

How can I fix this please? could it be something to do with my htaccess file? (it's posted above).

Like I say, Ping worked with google.

When I run 'SiteMap Generator':-



After the above SiteMap Generator ran it shows:-



Ping with both Yahoo and Google was successful.



Thanks.!

Hello,

make sure that your host supports mod_rewrite.

Hi Oleg,

Yes mod_rewrite is enabled but GoDaddy setup is slightly strange.

Because mod_rewrite effectively disguises how and from where content is served, it can increase site security. Mod_rewrite also benefits sites that utilize search engines. Not all search engines index a Web site's dynamic URLs, and those that do not drop the dynamic portion entirely. mod_rewrite allows the creation of URLs that can be indexed by all search engines, thus preventing potential conflicts and increasing site visibility

Requests for PHP files are intercepted well before .htaccess (and definitely mod_rewrite) activate. So, mod_rewrite will not work on URLs for PHP files.


Do you have any suggestions for what I should p[ut into the .htacces file to correct this?

GoDaddy is a popular host, it would be nice to solve this problem.

Can you get any rewrite rule working in .htaccess to make sure that mod_rewrite is enabled?

Thanks for your help Oleg!

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^foo\.html$ Google [R=301,L]

I ran this test .htaccess file and mysite.net/foo.html took my straight to google as it should indicating mod_rewrite is indeed activated.

Kinda stuck with this.




Thanks!!

Please append sitemap rewrite rule to your existing .htaccess.

Thanks Oleg , errr how do I do that ?

My .htaccess file is just the one with comes with the hack:-

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

How do I append a sitemap rewrite rule?

You should set your .htaccess to:

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Are you able to open Support Tickets for this product?

I'm getting the impression no one knows what is wrong or knows how to configure this program to work on a GoDaddy host (GoDaddy is the biggest web host company in the world).


Here are some images of my AdminCP and FTP directory structure.











Thanks.

Hello Steven ,

This issue is related with your server. Godaddy always cause problems with .htaccess . If you want to use vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap , i advice you to switch your hosting company. There is not much we can do since Godaddy doesn't allow their customers to use .htaccess file for php files.
