s i solved after changing data folder chmod value to 777 now everything worked well............

updated to the latest version and works perfect. thanks for the update.

data folder is set to 777 and using latest version. Still have this error.

stop playing with chmod 777 noobs

Assuming this rude and ignorant comment was directed at me, folder permissions for the data folder were set to 777 (per the above who don't have a reading comprehension problem) and this error persisted.

In fact, unless the data folder has these permissions the sitemap generator does not build the sitemap at all as it cannot even write to the folder. This was not my problem. Again, those who read the nature of the error read where the files were fully generated but, for some reason this error persisted.

Problem was resolved by deleting the contents of the data folder and running the Sitemap generator again. Not sure what was causing the error but this action cleared it up.

i install version 2.1

but i have 4 problems

1- i cant see yahoo in download report, and in past there is box where i put certain no. which is subscribe in yahoo but with 2.1 i dont find this box is it alright?????

plz im waiting for any suggestion

Hello,

sundarmobiles
SemperFideles,
make sure that vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder permissions are set to 0777 and all *files* inside data/ folder (if any) - to 0666.

shaynehammy No, there is an .htaccess entry to handle that - although files are stored in vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder, they still can be accessed via forums root folder.

baghdad4ever,

please try vbseo_sitemap_functions.php file modification suggested above in this thread to address SE ping issue.

please what is exact modification may i do???:confused::confused:

Thanks

Just to report it, vbulletin 3.6.8 Patch 2, vbulletin blog 1.0.3, activating "Include Blog Pages" and running the scheduled task "vBSEO Sitemap Generator" causes the task to end with

[SECTION START] blogs [3,545.5Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]

It does not complete. Deactivating the blog pages for the sitemap results in the task to end with

Done

Hello,
You should just modify corresponding scheduled task in vB admincp for that.

Looks like you have all your subforums closed for guests, so they are not included in sitemap.

That depends on what you had in .htaccess before, usually you want to combine them (you can add Sitemap Generator rewrite rules to the top of existing .htaccess).

Please check this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...og#post1395488

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

3.6.8PL
Yes, CHMOD 777
Yes uploaded .htaccess

this mod sux ,
when i disable permission for guest to see threads , it excludes the forums and threads url from sitemap :mad:

wr can i upload the .htaccess file?.....................

i cant see any download logs too any one help me to solve this after installing this mod google spider not constant in my forum........................


https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

friend i have 65 sub forum,im closed 15 subforum for guest.50 subforum opened for guest.
i must open 15subforum for guest or what?

I think this is a chmod problem, nor the log files are unwritable so there is nothing to read in it then, nor the files ins't readable and you cannot read in it, make sur to assign correct chmod permission in the /vbseo_sitemap/data/*.log, personnally I have them to a chmod 600 but if you are on webhosting shared I suggest you to chmod 775 all the /data/ folder recursively and pay attention to restrict web access to it with the htaccess deny directive.

Please help me--

I m getting this error after clicking on RUN SITEMAP GENERATOR-

Plz sumone help me

THanks

sounds easy to fixe (the script can't write the sitemap compressed files)

chmod 775 the folder /forums/vbseo_sitemap/data/ and all files inside 775 and also make sure to deny web access to this folder with a .htaccess or directly within your server *.conf

how to deny using .htaccess file.. what to write in it

Just "deny from all" is enough, the .htaccess is included in the zip package , in the data folder, this will prevent malicious web user to try writing in the /data/ folder which is often set to too much write permissions and this leave access only to the script accessing files without your webservers but localy. You can set the same .htaccess file in the /includes/ folder of vb for example, this is always good to restrict all folders (with chmods+web server directives) that are supposed to be called only with php.

i have chmod folder and files to 755 and the .htaccess file is already uploaded whihc is present in data folder...

Still same error

Plz help

I said 775 not 755 but if 775 fail, go on a 777 but thats really really not safe to do this, chmod 777 will probably solve your problem but then any guest is supposed to be able to write in /data/ so you should then double check if the http server correctly deny all access here. this is the most hacked door in a webserver. Best way to go around the nasty 777 is to find out under wich user/group your php files are executed and to chown the /data/ folder to this user then you can lower the 777

I tried 775 but still same problem,,

Then i tried 777 and now its fine, no error... and sitemap generated, showing in the Report List....

But i dont understand this -

Best way to go around the nasty 777 is to find out under wich user/group your php files are executed and to chown the /data/ folder to this user then you can lower the 777

Can u help more with this

THANKS A LOT FOR ALL UR HELP

If you are on a shared hosting and not understanding very well how to play with chown/chmod commands, I think the best you can do is unfortunely with 777 and make sure the .htaccess file is always present in the data folder, this will deny attacks from the web for sure but the weakness is if another customer is hacked and a worms infects the machine, that worm will have a write access here, this is not really your fault but the webhost than runs apache as php module, if you are on a VPS or dedicated server then you have to learn how to run php as cgi and you can go down to a stricter chmod like Im doing with 750, you can go down to php files to 400, works fine here, but not simple & easy to setup all this, 777 saves time but not your ass heh ;)

Yes i m on Shared hosting.....
Thx for the help, i will ask my host abt this, maybe he will help as he is my good frend...
But on my old shared server it was working fine even with 644 permisison to files and 755 permission to folders..

Thanks once again

Ok, Question...

Why is it that it makes the large files, in our case 100 of them with 50K in each, and Google says it only shows a MUCH LOWER amount submitted?

Example...
From Map Report - TOTAL URLS 5,086,481
Google Shows in Webmaster Tools - URLS Submitted 86,481 (Last downloaded 13 hours ago.)

If I go into DETAILS and look at a random sample of the file details in Google most show 0 URL's in sitemap....

Like for sitemap_1.xml.gz and sitemap_50.xml.gz Google shows...

Sitemap type Web
Submitted Dec 27, 2007
Last downloaded by Google Jan 3, 2008
Total URLs in Sitemap 0

Yet IN the the file that is on my server it shows all the data in each.

So kind of concerned tat maybe that Google does not like what is being made. Anyone have any ideas. Anyone else using a webmaster account as I am can care to look.

If you are running multiple servers with load balancer I suppose that googlebot might hit "wrong" server (not the one where sitemap has been generated).

Try by adding all your sitemaps which are in you index xml directly within the google master tool

This would be true except for the fact that in cases like this I make one master directory on our image server and then link the directories on each server to it. Thus all the servers have the same data directory. (Do the same for attachments, custom avatars, CSS files.) Thus not the case at all. The data is their.


Class101...Adding all the site maps are redundant. Google does find and use the list. Not to mention I have over 100.

From last nights run...Google Reports: Total URLs in Sitemap 98069

Can someone with a Google Webmaster account also check their numbers like I did? I would love to see if I am not alone in this.

Thank you.

Hmm for me I have in vbseo sitemap cp

Total URLs: 14327

Google webmaster tools

Sitemap statistics:
Total URLs: 14327
Indexed URLs: 4668

So my website isn't that big than yours but I see my links have all been detected, however not all yet indexed since it's reopened there is less than a month.

I had a similar problem recently after a server move. I had to delete all my sitemaps and rewrite them. Then everything was fine.

this is my report:
