Google webmaster tools says ..

"No sitemap found for site"

If someone can please help me get my vbseo working properly for my site I would greatly appreciate this!

Fast Luxury Forums is my site

I would really appreciate any help!

Thanks!

I want to get everything working properly within vbseo and Google Webmaster Tools...

You have mixed up www's and non-www's.

http://www.fastluxuryforums.com/foru...p_index.xml.gz
is the correct url to load, but it fails because you are calling the non-www version of the style which causes it to fail.

make sure EVERYTHING is set one way or the other.
[How to] Setup www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com (www vs. non-www) - With .htaccess 301 redirects - vBulletin SEO Forums

Thank you for the info!

But, I am confused on the information a bit... Let's say, I want to keep just the www. version.. Which options to I follow? All of them for 'www.'?

yes, you'd want to have all setting locations and files have www's on them

Okay, so after I figure that out.. I have your sitemap generator installed.. yet google can't find it.

When I fix the www. situation, will it also fix the sitemap issue?

'lighttpd.conf' what is this and where can I find it?

I'm just confused and really want to get it perfect lol

Also, how often should I run sitemap generator?

The www's are what's breaking the sitemap. Once that's fixed, it should load correctly.

I have no idea what how or why you are looking at lightttpd.conf for? you are on apache. whatever you are doing in there, is wrong....


The sitemap runs once a day via our task. It is suggested to leave it that way.

Should I do it through google and htaccess?

Helllo Costel,

There's a directive in the vBSEO default .htaccess file that is disabled by default. You should find this:

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

and uncomment it (remove the '#' symbol at the beginning) to redirect non-www's to www's. Replace yourdomain.com with your forum URL:

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


Once you are done with that, try to resubmit your sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools.

I'm confused because it seems that my .htaccess file is empty...


EDIT: found it... I was looking at the wrong one apparently..

It.s the htaccess.txt, right? The one that is right in the forum folder?

vBSEO .htaccess file is named as .htaccess and it is located on your forum home. Some ftp programs needs to be correctly configured to display hidden files.
