Weird.. last submit to yahoo - FAILED

Since i've had sitemap generater installed, the ping has always worked.. but today, its stoped working.. settings are still the same, and so is the key...

only thing i've changed is the htaccess file and added

Code:

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

any suggestions?

Worked perfectly on Tue 18/09/2007 3:23 AM and before - every time.

I change htaccess on 19/09/2007 12:51:00 AM i added

Code:

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

now at Wed 19/09/2007 4:56 AM

Code:

  Google ping: Successful.
  Yahoo ping: FAILED.

its obviously something to do with the code..

Hello,

please try to modify vbseo_sitemap_functions.php file:
FIND:

PHP Code:

               $yurl = 'http://api.search.yahoo.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/updateNotification?appid='.$y_id.'&url=';
        
               vbseo_query_http($yurl.urlencode(vbseo_sitemap_furl('sitemap_index.xml.gz')), 1);

            $yping = vbseo_query_http($yurl.urlencode($xmlsitemap), 1); 


REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:

           $purl = 'http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/ping?sitemap=';
            $yping = vbseo_query_http($purl.urlencode($ysitemap), 1); 


it seems to be working now without the code edit, what does that code do?

That is a new (updated) Yahoo ping URL that allows to use it without App ID.
