We installed the new htaccess.

We did made an update on to VBSeo 3.2 and the Sitemap Generator 2.2.
However, now the Sitemaps are no longer true.
e.g. this is the display, if the generator manually starts Sitemap

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

It was set to 0777

Please open a ticket with ftp access for troubleshooting.

I have the same problem. vB 3.7.2, vbseo 3.2.0 and sitemap 2.2 are installed but after accessing http://mywebsite/xy/forum/sitemap_index.xml.gz I get an error 404.

My forums root htaccess is the original vbseo file:

Code:

# 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 /xy/forum/

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

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

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

... and the data directory in vbseo_sitemap is set to 777.

So what's the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

try to replace this line:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)

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

Thanx. Now it works.

Why do I have this problem? I have a standard installation of your products.

Depending on server sitemap generator rewrite rule may be passed further to the next rewrite directive.
