Upgraded, but have a problem.

I run sitemap generator and it went all well. When I click on the link of newly generated sitemap, I received error 403.
Then, I change the location for sitemap in the setting, and run it again. But same error occured. Found out that it generated the sitemap inside vbseo_sitemap/data folder..
I tried to access it via http, but still received error 403. the folder has been CHMOD to 777. Dont know why it cant be access.

can you help me with this vbseo?

Hello,

you should leave "Sitemap Files URL" setting in options empty. If you ever change it, you should create additional .htaccess file in corresponding folder.

@Oleg, I leave the Sitemap Files URL blank. It generated the file yes, but when I click on "Your Google Sitemap Index URL: http://www.yoursite.com/forum/sitemap_index.xml.gz" The link brought me to 404 page.

Did you create .htaccess file as described?

As described? Where?

I haven't change the path, should I still create the .htaccess file? What should the .htaccess contain for this?

Thanks

My htaccess file contains:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)-(.*)_(.*)-(.*)_(.*)-(.*)_(.*)-(.*)_(.*)-(.*)_(.*)-(.*)_(.*).html(.*)$ $1.php?$2=$3&$4=$5&$6=$7&$8=$9&$10=$11&$12=$13$14

Code:

RewriteBase /

Try to remove this line.

nyunyu · #8 12-11-2007, 02:07 PM

I removed RewriteBase / and it cause me an internal server error 500

What is your sitemap URL?

* Moved to a separate thread from the announcement *

nyunyu · #10 12-11-2007, 02:28 PM

my sitemap located at this location

http://www.animeheist.com/forum/sitemap_index.xml.gz

Oleg Ignatiuk · #11 12-11-2007, 02:45 PM

You should change that line to:

Code:

RewriteBase /forum/

Oleg!! Thank you very much!!!
Finally the sitemap can be retrieved..
thank you again..now i can submit them to the search engine..
\('.')/

Another question, why is only google notified and not yahoo? Is there something I need to do to submit/notify other search engine such as ask.com?
I thought this version has them included?

Thanks

The latest version of vBSEO Sitemap Generator should notify Google, Yahoo, ASK and Moreover service.
