If you're using vBSEO Sitemap, the URL would be:

http://www.test.com/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz

Go to the URL in your browser and you will see the error. It looks like you don't have the proper permissions set on your vbseo_sitemap/data directory.

Make sure the directory, all files, and all sub-directories and files are also set to 777.

Then, delete any sitemap_* files from the data directory and re-generate your sitemaps using the option on the vBSEO Sitemap menu (don't run the task from the Task Scheduler)

This file is set to 644, it cannot be changed to 666.

Try to remove/rename it then.

That file contains the log of sitemap download requests, it will be started from the scratch if deleted.
