Sitemap Problem
i installed as per the readme file, and everything went ok

logged in to vbseo-map page, and clicked on "Run Sitemap Generator "

it generated the files successfully

then at the bottom of the page, when i click on "view details"

it shows me the stats of the links created

and there is links to the files, which the URL shows its in my root http://www.mysite.com/thefilename

however, when i click on the file, it shows me a 404 page not found

i found that the files are generated inside public_html/vbseo_sitemap/data/

what is wrong here?

My forums path is http://www.mysite.com/forums
- How do I have to configure the .htaccess ?
- What url should I submit to google : http://www.mysite.com OR http://www.mysite.com/forums

You need to add a line to the .htaccess file. Please review the installation instructions again for details.

I did not modify the .htaccess file.
Can you be more specific? I read the instructions but there is no adding line info..
Can you give me an example ?

From the readme:

Quote:
B. Enable rewriting via .htaccess (vBSEO Users skip this step):

  1. Upload the vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap .htaccess file (located in the 'htaccess' folder) to your forum root.
Note: In some operating systems, the .htaccess file is not visible. If this is your case, find the htaccess.txt file in the same folder, (1) upload it to your forum root folder and (2) rename it to .htaccess.


Note: If you already have an .htaccess file in your forum root, DO NOT upload the vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap .htaccess file as it will replace the contents of this file. Instead, enter the following code in your 'forum-root/.htaccess' file at the bottom:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

I did uploaded the .htaccess file in forums root (http://mysite/forums ) and it looks like :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Do I have to change anything on that, because it does not work - still same problem.

Hello George,

Make sure that you have forums URL correctly defined in vB admincp options:
Code:
http://www.domain.com/forums
It looks like you have it defined as:
Code:
http://www.domain.com

Looks like you are running on IIS server. In this case you should install ISAPI_Rewrite module for IIS and add rewrite rules in it's configuration instead of .htaccess.

I just installed the sitemap generator, manually ran the process. It emailed me and displayed all the stats, yet, the sitemap file is not there.

http://www.aximusers.com/forum/sitemap_index.xml

Note: I also don't see anything in my "report". Does that only show when it runs automatically rather than when you run it manually?

Did you set permissions accordingly? You should allow write access for vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder.

I had set the permissions for the vbseo_sitemap folder, but it didn't traverse the directory.

It worked, thank you.

Great, you are welcome!
Btw, you should not change permissions for vbseo_sitemap/ folder itself, just data/ subfolder.

I will go back and set it to 755.

One more question, will VBSEO automatically send the sitemap to Google?

I'm trying to add it, but it is barking at me saying that it needs to be at the root of my site, not in the forum folder.

vBSEO Sitemap Generator pings Google automatically, but it's recommended to submit it manually in webmaster account as well. You should add "http://www.aximusers.com/forum/" as a new site entry and then submit sitemap into it.
