Altec,

rewrite rules should be added to httpd.ini file (config file of ISAPI_Rewrite module). More info on ISAPI_Rewrite: http://www.isapirewrite.com

The good thing is that hardly anyone's online at 4AM, but the server loads with this script are still scary. I'm assuming url's per sitemap file would have the biggest impact on this. How low could I go before it starts to get too low?

username12,

if you experience a server load at the time of sitemap generation, please make sure that in admincp Shedule manager you don't have minutes set to "*" (it should be 0 or any other number).

I don't understand step C in installing. I have no instructions anywhere for a vbroot directory.

Help.

For step C for the .htaccess file, am I suppose to create a vbroot directory and put that access file in it? And do I put the vbroot folder in /forums or at the same level as /forums?

vbroot is the base directory where you have installed vBulletin.

Solved question.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml\.gz|txt))$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Which one do we use?

Hello, I've successfully added the plugin.

After the installation and setup is all done, do you add

http://www.yoursite.com/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz

to Google Sitemap and Yahoo Search?

Thanks in advance.

Parture,
you should use the one specified in the installation instructions:
Kwak,
you should submit http://www.yoursite.com/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz to Google and http://www.yoursite.com/forums/sitemap.txt.gz to Yahoo.
