vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap Generator v1.7RC4 is © 2005 Crawlability, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

I really think you should upgrade to 2.1. You can download it from within your download are here.

I just upgraded, now a whole bunch of errors comes up when i go to http://www.gosatelliteforums.com/sitemap_1.xml.gz

What to do now?

Be sure that the data folder inside of your vbseo_sitemap folder is chmodded to 777.

Hello,

make sure that you have 0666 permissions set for data/downloads.dat file.

yes i just did that, still the same error. I can go inside via ftp and download and view the sitemap .gz file. But how come i can't view it via my browser?

What does your htaccess file look like?

php_value upload_max_filesize 50M
php_value post_max_size 50M
php_value max_execution_time 360
php_value max_input_time 360

Try to remove the bottom two lines as those are duplicates.

no that didn't work....argghhh

Go ahead and PM me an Admin account, and a FTP account.

When I go to CHMOD data/downloads.dat, it does not save. I think that is something you need to ask your host about.

You can remove/rename existing downloads.dat file and sitemap generator will create a new one.

Oleg to the rescue.
