Nevermind, I'm an idiot - I went in and checked that that file in fact did not exist. I accidentally used the new product file with the older other files. DOH. Thanks anyway!

I time out when submitting the sitemap to Yahoo.

Should I unzip the sitemap.txt.gz file and submit it?

Also, there is 2 boxes for submission on Yahoo. The first is for a feed and the second is for a single page. Which one should I use for my sitemap submittal?

Thanks,

~VegasMack

Hello VegasMack,

you should use compressed (sitemap.txt.gz) sitemap version and submit it to the "input feed" box on Yahoo submission page.

Please try to resubmit it multiple times - it is known that timeouts happen at Yahoo often for large sitemaps.

Hi,

just a little hint ...

I've installed it and it works well, except the rewrite ... I've tried many things and finally, after reading the whole thread,

did it for me ...

Thank you Kai,

I posted this suggestion here already (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=422) but it could be easily missed within pages :)

We will include this hint into the FAQ :)

... but I have still another problem:

This ist my "*.txt.gz"-file:

http://www.portugalforum.de/sitemap.txt.gz

But this is not compressed ... it's just a text file.

Correct?

Yahoo always gives me timeouts ...

Kai

Kai,

it is compressed (but uncompressed by your browser on-the-fly), the same with xml.gz files.

As for Yahoo submission timeouts - I just submitted the sitemap URL you posted successfully :) (the suggestion is to re-submit it multiple times if you receive timeout message).

... but there must be a difference between the xml.gz-files and the txt.gz-files, because Opera (8.5 Build 7700) shows the xml-file but downloads the txt-file ...

... and I've tried to submit the file about 20 or 30 times ...

Kai

Keep trying to submit, and it will. It can take many tries.

I just kept clicking and it finally when through. :banana:
