I'm now recommending it to all of my clients. :) |

thanks for this amazing addon |
On my system the "sitemap_index.xml.gz" file never gets written. Neither where it is supposed to be or anywhere else.
I have gotten the Sitemap Generator to run, meaning that it shows the output on the screen as having been run. The scheduled task is also correctly running and has been for several days. Has anyone run it with the "vBSEO Installed?" option set to 'NO'? This is how I am running it for now since I have not installed vBSEO. My sitemap file is not in any of the locations it might be in: http://forums.audioholics.com/forums...p_index.xml.gz http://forums.audioholics.com/forums...p_index.xml.gz http://forums.audioholics.com/forums...p_index.xml.gz Any ideas? It seems to be running and I can access my vBSEO Google / Yahoo Sitemap for vBulletin page, but no sitemap is ever generated. |

Yep. I'm running it without vBSEO installed. There's no chance I will ever have vBSEO installed. Some things to check: 1. Have you checked the write permissions on those directories? Is your server running in safe mode? 2. Do you have anything in the box next to Sitemap Files URL? 3. Does your host support gzip? 4. Have you added the lines to the .htaccess file in your forum root (it should be at http://forums.audioholics.com/ - why do you have both a subdomain and a subdirectory for your forum, by the way?). |
Thanks for your help and feedback. It's appreciated.
1. Yes, permissions are correct and I am not getting any (visible) errors. Server is not running in safe mode. 2. Nothing at all. 3. Yes it does. 4. I uploaded the .htaccess file that came with the mod: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L] The subdirectory shouldn't (specifically) be causing any problems and is there due to the fact that the forums once existed on the same server as the main site and was later split off. I'm honestly at a loss... |
If you check those locations via FTP, do you see anything at all?
|
I see all the other files that are part of the mod/system... I've attached some screenshots.
Thanks again for helping. It seems to do everything except write the file. |
Anything at all in your scheduled tasks logs?
|
Also:
Do you see TWO entries in your scheduled task manager: Quote:

Make sure to CHMOD your "data" folder 777 and it should work. I had the exact same problem as you did.
|
I have this installed and everything is generating properly in the data folder, but the .htaccess isn't pointing to the site map in the data directory. Is there something I did wrong when installing it?
|
1. Did you add the appropriate lines to the .htacess file in your ROOT folder?
2. Can you post your .htaccess file here? |
Which sitemap(s) for google and yahoo? can you tell me?
Thanks... |
Very odd, the chmod to the data folder solved it, though I then had to alter the default directory so that the sitemap file referenced that folder. Obviously something in my setup causes it to not put it into root.

I'm getting the following errors. Help!
Code:
Warning: gzopen(/home/photogra/public_html/forum/vbseo_sitemap/data/sitemap_1.xml.gz): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/photogra/public_html/forum/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_sitemap_functions.php on line 540 |
Quote:
It's a permissions issue. Change the permissions for /home/photogra/public_html/forum/vbseo_sitemap/ to 777. |
Not the vbseo_sitemap folder, but just the data folder, I assume. Anyways, it looks like it worked. ;) Cheers.
|
Ok, I've got the sitemap to run without errors, but all the sitemaps are coming up 404's... http://www.photographycorner.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz ???
|
Quote:
Instead, you'll find it at /{forum root}/vbseo_sitemap/. You need to add the following lines to your .htaccess file to redirect Google and friends to the correct location: Code:
RewriteEngine OnAre you able to access it from the vBSEO options panel in your Admin CP? |
Yeah, I added that to my htaccess file, but I have a custom 404 set up as well, which may be causing problems. I'll have to get my programmer to take a look, I think.

thanks for reply |
Ok my site guru was adding this and has overwritten the original .httpaccess file.
What are the consequences of that ? |
That all depends on if you had any information in your original .htaccess file, and what that info was..
|
Quote:
What the consequences will be depends on what was there before. Is your site enabled for Microsoft FrontPage? That is one of the bad scenarios although it can be relatively easily fixed. Were you using mod_rewrite on your site? What other SEO add-ons are you using? |
Yes his guru title is officially revoked :)
We don't have any SEO add-ons. The rest I have no idea. I will need to find out. But I dont think so, why would it be enabled for frontpage ? Thanks :) |

Post (or PM me) the link to your forum. I'll have a look at it. |
Thanks, its http://www.soapchat.net
Actually if I go to google and type in soap chat our forum is nowhere to be found but we are a busy community. I have not bothered looking into search engine optimisation before. |

What you need to do is to think about what search terms people are likely to type into that search box when they're looking for a forum like yours. Then you need to optimize for those terms. See my article on Basic Forum SEO. But back to your question, your links, etc., all seem to be working okay. I don't see any obvious damage done by overwriting the previous .htaccess file. What I would suggest is adding the following lines to the top of the current .htacess file: Quote:
