sitemap error
I am setting up vbseo on another one of my forums, but i am getting this error when trying to add the sitemap:

Quote:
3. My Sitemap URL is:
Steroid Kingdom
Example: http://www.steroidkingdom.com/sitemap.xml
General HTTP error: 404 not found
We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit
I have tried these paths:

http://www.steroidkingdom.com/forum/...p_index.xml.gz

And keep getting the same error.

Try regenerating the sitemap (from the vBSEO Sitemap menu).

The size will depend on the size of your site, which will determine how many individual sitemaps are generated. The index just links to all of the individual sitemaps.

And one last question, sorry to be a pain in the butt :(

I have another forum which doesnt run vbseo, can i run the sitemap version 2.0 on this forum, or do i need to get the version from vbulletin.org?

Thanks again for your time and patience.
