Sitemap URL doesn't work

Hello.

My sitemap links don't work :(
Link example:
http://www.forum.simple-nlp.pl/sitemap_index.xml.gz

I already checked .htaccess and there everything is ok. It means I have there:
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

I even chceked URL to which it should be rewritten:
http://www.forum.simple-nlp.pl/vbseo...p_index.xml.gz

and it works.

What is wrong? I want google see my sitemaps

I'm working on
vb 3.7.2
vb seo 3.2.0
vbseo sitemap 2.2

I have some clue, but still don't know how to fix it.

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

To:
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ http://www.forum.simple-nlp.pl/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Now are working links without 'www'
so it's ok:
http://forum.simple-nlp.pl/sitemap_1.xml.gz

But are wrong:
http://www.forum.simple-nlp.pl/urllist.txt.gz
http://www.forum.simple-nlp.pl/sitemap_index.xml.gz

Unfortunatellu vbseo sitemap generates link to sitemap_index with 'www' so google doesn't see it :/

Still need help...

Ok I already found a solution. Ewerything what was needed its add of 301 option to redirection rule:
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L,R=301]

You should not add R=301 in that line, please change this line:

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron)

to:

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron|vbseo_sitemap)

But it works right now - what's the difference??

And 2 more things:

1. I don't have line:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron)

But:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)

2. Your solution does'n work.

Maybe I will show You my whole .htaccess file. Large block of rewriting is bacaouse of my previous links, which I already have propagated in som presell pages.

My .htaccess file:
# 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

Tip :

In your future posts, Use the CODE bbCode around your codes, like :

[code] your .htaccess codes here [/code]

Looks much better this way.

But it works right now - what's the difference??

The difference is that with R=301 it *redirects* the URL instead of rewriting it.

Please use this rewrite condition line:

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)

Also, what exactly is the error you get when trying to open sitemap?

Page not found

Did you submit sitemap to Google and got no errors?

Exactly

Some data from tools from webmasters:
File name: sitemap_index.xml.gz
State: OK
number of URLs: 1559

a You can see google see my index and is able to go to other sitemaps and read it

Ok then

Thanks. That fixed my problem.
