Unsupported file format
I'm getting an 'Unsupported file format' error on google's sitemaps site. This is the details it gives:

Quote:
Your Sitemap does not appear to be in a supported format. Please ensure it meets our Sitemap guidelines and resubmit. More
I dont know if I'm doing something wrong. But they are in .xml.gz format...since thats what it defaulted to.

Any ideas?

Re: Unsupported file format
I think you made a typo in the URL above:

http://www.se7ensins.com/forums/sitemap_1.xml.gz



But, it gets a permissions error. Make sure you set the data directory permissions as outlined in the vBSEO Sitemap instructions.

Re: Unsupported file format
Yeah, sorry about the url :P

Anyways, I've rechecked everything in the install readme and I've done everything correctly. Any other suggestions or areas I should look at?

Re: Unsupported file format
If you can open a support ticket with FTP information, we can take a look.

Any chance you can share the solution with the rest of us? I have the same problem... or the same symptom at least ;-)

It was .htaccess
Turns out that my problem was that the position of the Rewriterule statement in .htaccess. I moved the line before another one and now it works.
