Site map generation errors after moving servers

I am getting these errors when trying to manually run sitemap generator. Any advice would be appreciated. Could it be related to the fact that this has changed /home/bbrackman/ from /home/mydroidw/? If so, how would I go about fixing it?


Warning: fopen(/home/bbcrackman/domains/mydroidworld.com/public_html/forums/vbseo_sitemap/data/sitemap_1.xml.gz) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/bbcrackman/domains/xxxxxxxxx.com/public_html/forums/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_sitemap_functions.php on line 952

Be sure that you have chmoded the vbseo_sitemap/data folder to 777.

I do have it set at 777

try deleting all the .xml.gz files in the /data folder and re-generate manually.

Thanks Brian, that did the trick! I appreciate the help!

Now I can create the file but when I submit to google is gives me the HTTP error 403. Hmmm, any idea's

ok, I looked at my .htaccess file and it says Deny from all. What should it read? Thanks again for your help

Figured that out, now it gives me a 404 error, any idea's?

Make sure you are submitting

.com/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz

Ok, I have that set correctly. It downloaded an old sitemap, the new one has approximately 300 new urls. When I search for the file its not in /forums/
does it pull the file from vbseo_sitemaps? If so why would it not be pulling the correct index_xml.gz


This is what the current site map is

The one google is pulling only has 3278 urls, as you can see I actually have 3576
Should the .htaccess file in /forums/vbseo_sitemap/data/ be written with "Deny From All"?

I submitted .com/forums/sitemap_1.xml.gz and it pulled all the url's. I am sure this will not work but just curious why it pulled all the urls

Delete it, submit the index. Google will load the index and follow it to the individual maps with actual URLs in it.

The index is a reference to _1 and _N as it grows larger.

It is not physically at this location, but is required to be according to sitemap schema rules (sitemap file must load from same directory as base content). To keep things neat, it's in its own folder. The htaccess file performs the proper redirect.

Thanks Brian! I appreciate your help with this.

No problem
