Just hoping someone here has had experience with this type of setup and can point me in the right direction so that I don't have to play trial and error and screw things up!

done the same as mentioned, still get 404 error not found
had posted this - modified for my forum:

I have added the rewrite rule inside lighttpd_rewrite to lighttpd.mysite.com inside the conf/lxadmin folder.

riverwire,

did you create .htaccess file as described?

PWO81,

looks like permissions issue. If you have modified any files/folders permissions then try to reinstall vBSEO Sitemap Generator.

realmr,

are any other rewrite rules working for you on your server?

Thanks for the reply, i sorted it, not sure how but i did lol after i moved the site to a different domain it seemed to work (dont worry i didnt move the site because of that problem ) :)

Great, I'm glad you got it sorted :)

Hello...

Seems to be an issue somewhere. Not sure where, but somewhere.

The data is made and put into the "data" directory that is inside the "vbseo_sitemap" directory which is under our forum root.

The files are made just fine and reported to Google. Looking in the Google Webmaster Tools, it sees the main master file just fine, but does not index any of it. Why? Well, looking inside the file it makes, all the links for each file is not to the forum root where the .htaccess file is.

Here is the master file Google calls...(As reported by Webmaster Tools)

REMOVED

Note the path above DOES work as it is redirected as needed by the .htacess file.

But inside that master file, all the others are listed like this...

REMOVED

Note the added vbseo_sitemap directory.

As such, these all fail as the files it is looking for is actually inside the DATA directory.

REMOVED

Now, even more weird. If I look at your spider logs, it shows files are being picked up. So which is it? Google says on their site, nothing pickup up, yet you show them as being accessed.

Please be so kind to advise.

Thank you.

Make sure that you have "Sitemap Files URL" setting empty.

Thank you for the reply.

Looking at the option setting, it says it will keep the files in the forum root if you do not set this. Seeing I do not want the files stored in the forum root, as we have over 250 of them, I set it to...

REMOVED

...Are you saying this is not correct? All my files in that that dir and then the data is in the data directory within it.

Are you saying this is not correct?


BTW...Running a test now jsut for kicks. But it takes time. :)

Can not access the sitemap settings page from control panel..
Any Ideas?
