Sitemaps problems

Just Upgraded to VB 3.7.3 form 3.6.8. and to VBSEO 3.0 to 3.2 Gold. Also an upgrade from sitemaps 2.0 to 2.2 was made. And the problem is my .htaccess doesn't seem to work. adress.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz gives a 404...

It's added to .htaccess as below:

Code:

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

My forum is in www.address.com/forum so I added the forum/ for the correct directory.

Second problem is sitemaps does not seem to work anymore.
When I try to run it it gives the following errors:

Code:

I just removed and install everything from the start for sitemaps, but nothing has changed.

Help appreciated.

Make sure that you have 0777 permissions set for vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder.

Ok sitemaps works now. However adress.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz still gives a 404...

Your sitemap opens fine for me: http://yourdomain/forum/sitemap_index.xml.gz

Well its supposed to be at the root directory as in www.address.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz as google and other search engines are used to looking for it there.

ok just fixed it. it was a mix up with joomla seo..
