I figured out the problem. I have been running the program for several years and my sitemap.gz files were to large to run anymore, therefore it was showing the above error.

What i did to fix this was:

Went to my server, and then to my /forums/vbseo_sitemap/data
I then deleted all of the sitemaps.gz files and the urltext.gz file.
I went back to my admincp and reran the sitemaps, and it worked like a charm.

If anyone needs help on this particular promblem, just pm me or repost here and i will make a much more thorough post about fixing the problem.

I have two questions:

1. In my Show Sitemap Downloads Log there is 120 pages of listings. How can I clear all these pages at once with out going page by page and deleting the entries?

2. What is the SE Bots Activity Log? When I click on it the listing is empty. Does this require the full version of VBSEO to work?

1. If you want to delete all existing listings within your sitemaps you can manually delete all xml.gz files within vbseo_sitemap/data folder.

2. Yes it requires vBSEO

1. Your are referring to sitemap_1.xml.gz thu sitemap_40.xml.gz right?

2. Thank you, I'll pass on that one.

Yes

Just installed vBSEO and I checked the first option "Yes"
How much does this affect the sitemap?

There is a lot of controversy on this and everyone has there opinion and experiences. I for one would uninstall it right now before you get to far along with it. But then again that is from my experience and it is my opinion.

Before you installed something like this you should have done a lot of reading on it first because there is a lot of cons on this in my opnion. This does not promise to help you site ratings. If you manage you site good it is not needed but that again is my opnion.

The biggest issue your going to have is that now that you have installed it you can never uninstall it. You stuck using it forever.

Your going to find out that the rewrites change all the url links to everything on your web site.

Sitemaps are only generated correctly when I run the script from "Scheduled Tasks" manually ("run now").

The automatic sitemap generation and manual generation through /vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_sitemap.php are not working as expected: the sitemap consists of only 3 or 4 urls in these cases (there should be around 200000).

Any help would be much appreciated!

Did you set up the cron job to generate your site map?

Yes I reliaze that, my activty got cut in half! And it continues to go down since over 1k URL's died that same day
