@ConqSoft: I see. Didn't notice the htaccess impact. Smart.

sitemap.txt.gz is for Yahoo submission
sitemap_*.xml.gz are for Google submission

The PHP5 compatibility was fixed in v1.1 and line numbers you quoted do not correspond to the source code of the latest version.

Is it possible that you had a problem with your server in the time when google downloaded the sitemap? If it is visible correctly in browser, googlebot will get it as well. Please try just to resubmit it.

If you have a "Redirect to homepage" option selected for "Fille not found" handling AND yo want to see the stats for sitemap at Google, you should *temporarily* disable the option in vbseocp to complete the verification.

You can register for Google Webmaster account and manually submit each sitemap file to track its status at http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps

Alhtough sitemap files are stored in the data folder (to simplify file permissions setup during installation), the URL that is sent to Google links to forumroot. This is achived by using .htaccess mod_rewrite directives.

Well did that of course! But maybe there should be a default rule for those files in vBSEO

Disi,

this is not about the files Google ask you to upload - they perform a request for *random* filename to check if the server returns 404 code. That's why you should set the corresponcing option ("Send 404 HTTP code") in your vBSEO Control Panel.

Hi,

@kadafi_alive,

make sure to set permissions as described in installation instructuions:
1. CHMOD 777 the 'vB-root/vbseo_sitemap/data/' folder

I had to manually move my gzip file into my forum root folder directory (I did include the needed htaccess directive but it just redirects to the forum home page).

@dastar
is the htaccess directive the first entry in your file?

working fine. THX vBSeo-team :)

i set a cron job in cpanel per your instructions to run at 03:00 hrs each day

I am getting this response from the email
