Actually i do get something pointing my browser at

http://mysite/forums/sitemap.txt

I get Sitemap file not found printed on screen. Ironically, as i say, the sitemap.txt.gz is in the data directory. So whats that all about ?

Hi guys.
I'm not sure I'm getting it... Is this free to use? On your website it says 160$ and here it's available... Any explanation?
Thanks!

^ that software offers url rewrite and other SEO functionality... this is just a site map...

bulbasnore 02-10-2007 07:22 PM

for our install of the cmps addon I had to set:
PHP Code:

        $vba_url 'http://oursite.com'

Since our cmps lives at the top level and our forums live in a subdirectory at

http://oursite.com/forums/

Also, since the forums live in a subdirectory, our rerwrite at the top level had to look like:

PHP Code:

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

The sitemap_index generates xml with submap urls that include /forums/ so we had to account for that with second line.

EDIT: How do I get this program to write the file to http://www.mysite.com/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz?

to get this to work properly there's only one change that had to be done in the .htaccess file. You need to add these lines to your .htaccess file in your public_html root not your forum root,

public_html/.htaccess file should have these two lines:

Code:

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

if you have installed your vbulletin in any other folder just replace that with "forum" in the line above.

If you have installed your vbulletin forum in your public_html root then you don't need any modifications to be made. the included .htaccess file will work just fine.

when you go to google to add your site you need to add the domain and not the domain + forum folder, so yours will look like this:

Code:

http://www.yourdomain.com
again do not add the "/forum" to the end of this address.

Now you wanna add your site map enter this line but replace "yourdomain.com" with your own address:

Code:

http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap_1.xml.gz
when google searches for that file in that address your .htaccess file will redirect its request to the appropriate location which is
Code:

http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/vbseo_sitemap/sitemap_1.xml.gz
I hope this helps clear out some of the confusion out there and maybe the writers can add this bit to their description on the first post if it's valid.
also would help to mention that this works for 3.6.x as well,
Thank you for sharing this wonderful mod.


I did exactly as you said. I'm just a little confused as to how the gz files move from vbseo_sitemap/data to vbseo_sitemap/ Do we manually have to move them ourselves?

Edit. Another question. Getting this error from Google

Quote:

General HTTP error: 404 not found
We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit.

Trying to add the sitemap http://www.thechiefbaboon.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz
I definitely added my top domain to google as my forum is installed under /forums. I edited .htacess to include "forums" in it as you said above. Anyone any ideas please?

I have had the same problem.. Is there any way to have this submit these maps to the root instead of the data directory??

Although files are stored in vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder, they are accessed as http://youforumsroot/sitemap_index.xml.gz using mod_rewrite rules.
Make sure that you uploaded .htaccess file and your server supports mod_rewrite.

Hello, I don't have vBSEO but I installed another hack that makes my URLs like thread123.html

Is it possible for me to modify code or settings to adjust URLs like that?

****

Edit: I just found it. Changing vbseo_sitemap_functions just worked!

I have everything as you have it in your instructions and on accessing mysite/sitemap_index.xml.gz i see the google sitemap xml displayed (my forums are in a subforum of forums/ ).

However as expressed before, doing the same with mysite//sitemap.txt gets a Sitemap file not found message printed yet i can access the sitemap.txt.gz at mysite/forums/vbseo_sitemap/data/

I updated my PHP server to the newest version 5.2.1 several days ago, and the mod stopped working. When I run the task it just displays blank pages.

I've tried re-upload all the php files, but it doesn't help.

What can I do? Please do me a favor.
