    sitemap generator works, file is there, but cannot acces it

    ok i have had problems in the past with url rewrites so i am thinking this is causing my current problem. The sitemap generator runs and creates the file. I can see it when i browse my server. it has the proper permissions, but the link will not access it

    http://www.inavid.com/vbseo_sitemap/data/sitemap_index.xml.gz

    it is there here is the httpd.ini contents:

    [ISAPI_Rewrite]
    # Defend your computer from some worm attacks
    RewriteRule .*(?:global.asa|default\.ida|root\.exe|\.\.).* . [F,I,O]

    # When hosting multiple sites on the same server, it is
    # recommended to limit the rewrite rules to the domain(s)
    # where vBSEO is installed. Enable (remove '#' at the beginning
    # to activate) the following rule and replace 'yourdomain.com'
    # with your actual installation domain name.
    #RewriteCond Host: .*inavid.com
    RewriteCond URL ^/(?!attachments|iconimages).*
    RewriteRule ^([^\?]*\.(?:flv|gif|swf.*|jpg|png|css|xml|js|htm|txt|zip )(?:\?(.*))?)$ $1 [I,L]
    ##RewriteCond Host: .*inavid.com
    RewriteRule ^/((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
    #RewriteCond Host: .*inavid.com
    RewriteCond URL ^/(?!admincp/|modcp/|menu/|inc/|clientscript/|cpstyles/|images/|videos/|flash/|exchange/|search\.php).*
    RewriteRule ^/(.+?)(?:\?(.*))?$ /vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1(?2&$2) [L]

    Anyone see anything that would cause it not to let that file open?

    response

    now just by looking at the link you sent me it looks as though we are not generating a sitemap? is that correct? i see no files indexed yet when i run the generator there are 500+ something links or urls.? what could that be from? any ideas? this is the final lines from the sitemap generator:

    [SECTION START] showthread [5,870.0Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
    [create sitemap file] filename: sitemap_1.xml.gz, number of urls: 517 [5,770.9Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
    [create sitemap in text format] part #1 [5,771.0Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
    [create sitemap index] filename: sitemap_index.xml.gz, number of sitemaps: 1 [5,769.2Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]

    sitemap_index POINTS google to sitemap_X.xml.gz where X is the number of sitemaps you have. sitemaps are limited to 20,000 URLs. after 20k is reached, sitemap_2 and so on get created.

    your sitemap is there


    Code:
    sitemapindex xsi:schemaLocation="             http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9             http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/09/siteindex.xsd">

    </loc>

    </sitemap>
    </sitemapindex>
