hi would you please write for me details of instalation process
thank you

it is well described in the doc joined to the mod

yet if you have any difficulties, I would be happy to help.

I finally figured out why the mod couldn't see my sitemap, it's because on 1&1 servers you can only execute rewrite rules from an .htaccess in the root where your domain is attached. Dumb but true, so I ran a test in a test sub-dir and this worked:

RewriteRule ^test/foo.html /test/bar.html [R]

However the vBSEO Sitemap code still doesn't, even when adjusted to the forums DIR:

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

Maybe it's because I need a /forum in the first part too but this stuff isn't exactly easy to understand. Suggestions?

UPDATE:

Ah this fixed it.

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

I just run a very small forum, so paying $150 for vBSEO is not an option I'm considering. Is the mod still worth installing, or do you need vBSEO?

how i can fix that?

Where do you download this product? I keep clicking on the link in this thread and get nowhere.

When I run it from this URL: Run Sitemap Generator http://www.xxxxx.com/vb/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_sitemap.php
I get the following error:

I'm adding some lines to enable VBSEO. My .htaccess file in my forum root is as follows:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

When I make this modification
really bad things happen :
