A reply to me earlier in the context of the topic

General HTTP error: 404 not found

forumbust,

did you generate sitemap in vbseo_sitemap/ interface?

Alfa1,

what is the sitemap URL you submit?

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz" target="_blank">http://www.mysite.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz</a>

Yes, i did it twice and now the report show that sitemap is submitted at the sitemap history. But still i get this when i click the " Google site map URL"

<<Not Found
The requested URL /forum/sitemap_index.xml.gz was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.>>

At my forum folder, there is no .gz file in it. i am not sure what happen. Will the gz file shown on a page normally?


Err.. Do i have to submit anything or create my own sitemap URL????? I thought it will be submitted automatically? Did i miss something? btw, i am running vb 3.6.9

Did you create .htaccess file in forum folder as described? Does your server support mod_rewrite?

Excellent mod, working fine with vbulletin 3.7 RC1

Yes, to both.
I see the sitemaps are being created.
The contents of my .htaccess of my forum DIR is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ index.php
RewriteRule (^[-_A-Za-z0-9\ ]*$) member.php?&username=$1
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

I do have a .htaccess active at site root.

Here is it's content:
RewriteEngine on
RedirectMatch permanent ^/index.html$ http://www.mysite.com/index.php
RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ /index.php
RewriteRule local_links/links/(.+)/(.+) local_links.php?catid=$1&linkid=$2 [R]
RewriteRule local_links/links/(.+) local_links.php?catid=$1 [R]
RewriteRule local_links/jump/(.+)/(.+) local_links.php?action=jump&id=$1&catid=$2 [R]
RewriteRule local_links/jump/(.+) local_links.php?action=jump&id=$1 [R]

You should move sitemap rewrite rule above others (right after "RewriteEngine on" line).

I followed your instruction and changed the .htaccess, but opening http://www.mysite.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz does not open the sitemap index. The sitemap index should be accessible from that url right?

Have the bugs been worked out on this?

any idea please

i want to put the entire folder inside /vb/archive/

instead of

/vb/

how to make that??

My .htaccess at the root is input like this:

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

Is there anything wrong?

Do i need a .htaccess for my forum folder too? The instruction didn't state that.

Alfa1,

sitemap URL is: http://yourforumsroot/sitemap_index.xml.gz


forumbust,

rewrite rules for vBSEO Sitemap Generator should be entered in .htaccess file in forums folder.

Yes, this works: http://www.mysite.com/forum/sitemap_index.xml.gz
but google says it needs to be at http://www.mysite.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz

I had the same problem. The way I got it to work was to go to settings and in the box for Sitemap Files URL enter http://www.yoursite.com now in your root .htaccess file add forum/ in front of vbseo_sitemap/.
example below:
btw this great product works perfect with vB 3.7 RC3

Many thanks!!!!!!
That did it.

these are the files that I have in the vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder:

.htaccess
index.php
sitemap_1.xml.gz
urllist.txt.gz


so what's wrong?

should I install the first version of this and uninstall this one?

plz any idea about that???

i want somebody help

For whatever reason, this mod has stopped submitting URL's .... what should I look for as a source of the problem?

Reinstalled and the problem went away :)

I noticed, that everything works fine, except that the program doesn't generate a text file for yahoo submission. Any ideas? In the options panel, I set output textfile for yahoo, and it still doesn't do it.

Ehm. correction. Google now finds my sitemap index, but not my sitemaps. Does anyone have a clue how to solve that one?

ok now its been 2 months and here is my sitemap status :
Sitemap statistics:
Total URLs: 3132
Indexed URLs: 2
also how come it shows my PR = 0 for all pages???

what could be the problem? :(

Super Jinni,

there should be also sitemap_index.xml.gz file, so probably sitemap was not completed.


baghdad4ever,

do you mean vbseo_sitemap/ folder? Why do you want to put it into archive/ ?


nsolanki,

Yahoo now supports xml sitemaps, there is no need for text sitemap now.


Alfa1,

you should set "Sitemap Files URL" to http://www.domain.com and regenerate sitemap.

but there is no..

ok, I think I have found out what's the difference between the two site that I have

this software worked with the first website because I installed the first version.. but in the second website I installed the newest version of vbseo generator..

so I'll try to uninstall this version and install the oldest one and see if it going to work..

I got the same problem, my forum is at the root of the site. Default setting in vbseo, sitemap generates perfectly. only it is not there.
chmod 777 data and all sub dirs and files.
settings in admincp site url is www.console-forums.net
there is a sitemap1.xml.gz in de data dir, but the isn?t any sitemap_index.xml.

my .htaccess look like this

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


i don?t know what i could done wrong

google doesnt enter my site

i write in google groups

some one tell me


press here please



so i want to disallow /vb

and allow /vb/archieve

in robots


thanks

How long should it take before google indexes the urls in the sitemap?
Yahoo is all over the place with up to 1100 bots.
Google lists to have downloaded the sitemap on the 23rd, but nothing indexed yet. Listing: 'No data available. Please check back soon.' Previously google indexed my site immediately.

Possemaster,

You should generate sitemap - open vbseo_sitemap/ interface in browser and click "Run generator" link.


baghdad4ever,

This is not related to the location on vbseo_sitemap/ folder.

Are there any issues with this running on version 3.6.10?

Thanks,
Nick

There are no known issues.

uhm id on't see if i did posted so ill ask around do i have to submit manually yahoo or does it do on its own?

Thanks iojam :)

Nick

Shall i remove the rewrite rule in the .htaccess at the root folder? I guess i have to create a new .htaccess in my forum folder as there is non there at the moment.

After i have done that i click on the http://mysite.com/forum/sitemap_1.xml.gz

It shows me this:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

−
<sitemapindex xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/09/siteindex.xsd">
−
<sitemap>
<loc>http://mysite.com/forum/sitemap_1.xml.gz</loc>
<lastmod>2008-04-22T17:04:55+00:00</lastmod>
</sitemap>
</sitemapindex>

i disallow google spider from vb folder which is contain vbseo folder

so how it download the sitemap parts which is present inside vbseo folder??

this is my question and because this i want to move vbseo folder to archive

thanks

MissKalunji,

you can submit it here: http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/


forumbust,

that is ok, you can submit sitemap to Google now.


baghdad4ever,

vBSEO Sitemap Generator doesn't allow that and I wouldn't suggest that.

Does it work with vb 3.70 ?
