Sitemap URL is giving 404
I have tried to access my sitemap via the URL in the AdminCP >> vBSEO Sitemap Reports and when I go to the URL I get a 404 error and redirected to the forum home page.

I tried the suggestion here on this post:
Sitmap not found 404

In my http.conf I have the following
PHP Code:
<Directory /home/cooking/public_html/forums/>
# 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

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums)
#RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*.(xml|txt)(.gz)?)$vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsi$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap/)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA] 
What should I try next to get the sitemap to work?

this line shouldn't be commented out (remove #)

Code:
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/


and you should also add in vbseo_sitemap to it as in

Code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images|vbseo_sitemap)/

My server admins commented that out because it was causing a syntax error.
Quote:
Syntax error on line 534 of /usr/local/apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf:
RewriteCond: bad argument line '%{REQUEST_FILENAME}!^(admincp|modcp|clientscript| cpstyles|images|vbseo_sitemap/)/'
What should I try next?

Code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images|useralbums|vbseo_sitemap)/
that is a direct copy/paste from mine. no typos or syntax issues.

well the syntax issues are resolved (there was a space missing) and now it allows me to restart Apache unfortunately I still get a 404 when trying to access the sitemap. What else should I look at?

Here are the current rules:
PHP Code:
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*.(xml|txt)(.gz)?)$vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap/)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images|useralbums|vbseo_sitemap)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

actually, i see it already...

you have another space issue.

the $ on line 1 is wrong.

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

The 1 is after the www1 because I use a load balanced setup. This is the primary server (master) and once I have this dialed in then I will have to configure the other web servers.

You are THE MAN Brian. It's working now. Thanks for your help!

I think this was caused by text wrapping issues when I posted the rewrite code for the server admins to add to the httpd.conf.
