Great, Hostboard :)

There is no known PHP compatibility problems with it, it should be working fine.

It is really a good idea to upgrade PHP on your server as there was many improvements and fixes implemented since 4.2.0.
The upgrade process shouldn't be a hard task and a good place to start from is at PHP website:

thanks!

How long after google downloads the index should we expect them to download the sitemap itself?

JumpD,

there is no specific timeframe defined by Google for this, but you may manually add all individual sitemap file URLs to your Google Webmaster Account (http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/siteoverview) to speed it up - they will be downloaded immediately in this case.

I notice that when the automated send is done, you can see they downloaded the index. But it doesn't show up on my webmaster account. Only if I manually enter it.

I am getting this error

When i run it by cron

JumpD

you should manually add sitemap files to your Google Webmaster account if you want to track them.

mcncyo,

please make sure that you have correct (write enable) permissions set for vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder.

When i upload the .htaccess to my forum root (and i don't have an existing one), i can't access the forum anymore. It just says "access denied - you don't have the rights" blabla.

What's wrong?

SchottenHammel,

please make sure that your server has mod_rewrite support and it allows rewrite definitions in .htaccess files.

I installed this today and it created the xml files just fine but I have it set to build txt files for Yahoo also, but it's not making them - any ideas?
