Moving sitemap folder to root (above /forums) causes issue

http://www.nzboards.com/forums/?vbseorelpath=../

Thats what I get when I try to go to http://www.nzboards.com/vbseo_sitemap/index.php

The content of my root .htaccess:
Code:
# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
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 /forums
RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !forums/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ forums/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=../&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !forums/
RewriteRule ^(.*.php)$ forums/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=../&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
I will move it back for now.. :(

Re: Moving sitemap folder to root (above /forums) causes issue

hello kall

i missing \ in your rule

Quote:
your rule
RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*.(xml|txt)(.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
would be correct
RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
regards

Re: Moving sitemap folder to root (above /forums) causes issue

Kall,

you should not move vbseo_sitemap outside of your forums folder because it is not designed to work in this way.

I suppose that you're doing this because you have included root URLs into sitemap, right?

If so, you should do the following instead:

1. Leave Sitemap Generator in "forums/vbseo_sitemap/" as it is now.

2. Include the following directive in your root .htaccess file:
Quote:
RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(.gz)?)$ forums/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
3. Manually submit all individual sitemap files to Google, referring them to root:
http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap_1.xml.gz
http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap_2.xml.gz
etc.


4. Turn off "Notify Google" in admincp options for vBSEO Sitemap Generator (since it notifies with sitemap URLs in forums/ folder).


Does it make sense?

Total sense.

If only I wasn't on my way to work, I would have a play.
