| Google reporting errors with the site map generated
I did a search but couldn't find an answer so sorry if I missed that... I have my vBulletin in Pixalo Photo Community and my review section is at Pixalo Photographic Equipment Reviews - Main Index - I have added several urls (one per line) to my extra-urls.txt for the review section, and this is what I believe is causing the problems. The strange thing is that I have also added urls that point to my gallery section (same directory level - Pixalo Photo Gallery - Main Index -) but Google does not seem to have any problems with that? sitemap_1.xml.gz (10 errors all linking to /reviews/ then different sub-pages) sitemap_index.xml.gz (1 error again linking to /reviews) Reported error Quote:
I have probably missed something simple here, how do I correct this to get it to work without errors and still have the links in the sitemap? Cheers EDIT. I am sorry I posted this in bugs by mistake when it should be in troubleshooting, someone feel free to move it please Last edited by Pixalo; 06-13-2006 at 06:56 AM. |

Hello Pixalo, the sitemap file should be located in the same folder or above the included URLs. You should move your sitemaps to the root level, as described here: Sitemap in www root

Thanks for the reply Oleg but in the link you have kindly provided it appears that I shouldn't be moving the sitemaps at all, but altering my .htaccess file at root level. I have added the re-write rule supplied in the other thread by Keith, substituting my 'community' for 'forums' . Is that correct and do I now submit my site map url as http://pixalo.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz Thanks again for taking the time to help |

Yes, it's not moving of the files, but moving of URLs You should submit: Code: http://www.pixalo.com/sitemap_1.xml.gz http://www.pixalo.com/sitemap_2.xml.gz http://www.pixalo.com/sitemap_3.xml.gz http://www.pixalo.com/sitemap_4.xml.gz
