Yeah, k. I CHMODded everything else to the usual level (other files to 664 and the other folder to 775) and it still gives me internal errors.

What is the message you see in the logs now?

Exactly the same one.

Hi, I tried to run the sitemap generator..It was working for a while and then I got this message:

MTGDarkness,

try to remove vbseo_sitemap folder and then reinstall it, keeping all permissions unchanged, except for data/ folder.

MixMakers,

try to disable text sitemap option and remove *.gz files from data/ folder.

Im a VBSEO owner do i need to install this separate?

Yes they are two separate products from vBSEO

I can't see my Google Sitemap Index URL as it give a 404 page error.... please help me..

Hey VbSEO support.

Ok, got a question for you. Our site, AVSFORUM, is quite large. Each night the Sitemap runs and it does MILLIONS of entries and sends it to Google and the others. I really do not think this is a good thing as it can not index the site that quick. So I am thinking that maybe I have the site map settings incorrect or something for it to send such data each night.

So the question...For large sites, what would be your recommended settings?

Attached is a screen shot showing what I mean. (Yes, we get that many new posts and threads in a day as it also did run the night before. :) (Talking about the + part of the report))

Side note...It has been quite some time that I attempted to use your SEO product for in the past, for those who recall, it was a total nightmare with server loads. This goes back a few years. So, has this improved. Please feel free to contact me outside this thread to talk again about it.

Thank you.

I think it does it wonky automatically. This is right after upload.

Skierpetros,

make sure that you created .htaccess file as described.

David Bott,

it's ok to resubmit it. Google will read your sitemap and determine changes in it.

MTGDarkness,

permissions for vbseo_sitemap/ folder should be 0755. All php files - 0644.

Hey, it worked! Thanks. :)

I tried but nothing happen ... i have also talk with my webhost...

finally we made it :D cheers to all :D

hi
in vBSEO Sitemap Settings / If you have vBSEO, include old urls Which is better for me ?

YES OR NO ?

i don't have VBSEO . plz help me

Google has a problem with sites that are using sitemaps generated with this Mod that also run TFseo or another URL and SEO mod.

Google webmaster tools says my sitemap has duplicate entries, because it is listing the original url and also the 301 redirected (SEO friendly URL) one.

It is not listing my site with an index in the top of Google which it used to do... and Im pretty sure its because the sitemap is freaking them out.


has anyone got a solution so that the tool just generates the rewritten URLs or any alternative ideas what to do?

Changing the settings to 'include or exclude' old URLs doesnt work...presumably because Im not running VBSEO bu TFseo...

>??

installed
thanks guys

Im confused with the htaccess file

My vbseo for google and yahoo sitemap is in my forum folder "as it should"

but in the htaccess file

should i have this

or

it should be in your forum root.

So if you have your main site directory is


/var/www/html/yoursite.com

but your forum is actually located at

/var/www/html/yoursite.com/forum/


Then you need to add it to the htaccess in this directory

/var/www/html/yoursite.com/forum/

and use this code

hth :)

I noticed what I think might be a bug...

I first installed an older version of this mod, and I just updated to the newest release (2.5) and I noticed a problem. For some reason, if I run the CRON item manually from the scheduled tasks area, the report it generates is just wrong. The links are all broken, it comes up with about 500 links too many (random user profiles, threads, posts, and forums, that don't even exist). I have mine set to run once a day at 4AM, and the auto run works fine, so I don't know why this would be happening...

Any thoughts?

Hello,

if you need to run it manually, you should do that via vbseo_sitemap/ interface (not in vB admincp->scheduled tasks).

OK, thanks. But, is there a reason that it works when the scheduled task is executed automatically, and the problem only occurs when it is executed manually?

Yes, when you run it manually it's executed witho your (admin) privileges.

Thank you. Installed on OTNation.com and love it.

hi,

my sitemap_index.xml.gz link is broken and gone without any reason. What should i do now? reinstall the mod again? thank you

All of the sudden the Yahoo Notify stopped working on my board. When I view the reports list, it says yes under Google notify, but No under Yahoo notify. The only change I have made recently that might have some effect on it (but shouldn't, I don't think) is I set up my Google Webmaster account and submitted the sitemap there, on Google. But, that should have nothing to do with Yahoo notify, right? Any ideas?

JohorBahru,

make sure that you have only one scheduled task in vB admincp and regenerate sitemap.


joe1989,

Yahoo sitemap submission service has issues recently, so I'd recommend to manually submit it to https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/mysites

OK, thanks for the tip. One more question - I'm not sure if you'll be able to answer, because it's probably more a question for Google staff.

I have a Google webmaster's account, and for some reason, it shows my sitemap as containing over 2,000 URL's (which is accurate) but there are less than 800 'indexed' URL's. Why is this? Does Google just take a while to index the others, or will they never be indexed? How does it decide which pages in the sitemap are indexed, and why are they not all indexed?

I know, a lot of questions, and like I said, I don't know if you're going to have answers for me.

Thanks! Installed and working perfectly.

But one question :D I'm confused on how I would go by submitting my sitemap to yahoo... :(

You can submit it here: https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/mysites

iojam, any idea on my question from post 789?

It takes time for Google to index your pages.

are all 2.5 versions the same? i plan to update from vb3.7.x to 3.8.x so it doesn't matter which 2.5 version i take?

Yes, that's the same one.

How long? It hasn't even indexed half of my URL's and I submitted for the first time almost a month ago. Any thoughts?

Greetings,

Just trying out this mod for the first time. using vBulletin 3.7.3. I believe I followed the instructions to the T. However, when generating a sitemap, it'll generate ~3-5 .xml.gz files and then errors out to a 500: Internal Server Error.

Is there a permission or setting I missed? Could my host be screwing up something?

looking at the error log I'm seeing:

(running from cron page)
Premature end of script headers: cronadmin.php, referer:

(running from sitemap)
Premature end of script headers: vbseo_sitemap.php, referer:

nevermind, I located the problem being a limitation on the execution time for a script in the php.ini file.

Glad you got it resolved.
