    Problem with Sitemap Index URL after installing VBSEO

    Hello,

    I had been using vBSEO sitemap generator since few days and was working absolutely fine until I installed vBSEO today.

    Don't know why but now vBSEO is working perfect but Sitemap generator isn't. However, it does generate sitemaps.

    My sitemap index URL now redirects to homepage or whatever I have in "File Not Found" requests handling? setting.
    http://www.tech555.com/forum/sitemap_index.xml.gz

    Disabling vBSEO also doesn't help.

    i do have the .htaccess in the forum root with the following contents:-


    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 /
    
    #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
    #RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]
    
    RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
    RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]
    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]
    
    Thank You
