Getting this message after I run the generator...
Also
What did I do wrong or fail to do?

I keep getting 404 when I try to access my Google Sitemap index. tried reloading everything and still having this issue.

I am also getting the same error at:

http://www.mydomain.com/forum/vbseo_sitemap/

It says:

Problem is now Solved.

I had remove both VBseo and XML sitemap and then re upload the files and reconfigured it.
It is now working... :D

Hadn't had an issue with this mod for over a year, until about a week ago.

Sitemap generations started giving Internal Server Errors (500) when generating a new sitemap. After trying a ton of different things to try and resolve it, I was finally able to get a sitemap to build without error by turning off "Auto-Notify Search Engines" in the settings. The time for creation of the sitemap after doing this went from an average of taking about 12-14 seconds over the last year down to taking less than 1 second (still getting all the links) with the auto-notify off.

This got me to thinking that when contacting the search engines it is waiting for some sort of response. The "500 Internal Server Error" error I have been getting over the last week with auto-notify turned was erroring out at about 1 min and 14 secs after starting the sitemap generation, which is exactly 1 minute longer than the standard creation time I had been seeing, so I believe the server is just timing out waiting for a response that it use to be getting before the last week or so.

Can someone report if they are having similar issues.

------------
Edit: Seems to definitely be related to just that one "Auto-Notify Search Engines" setting: Setting ON - get error, Setting OFF - works fine

I've noticed that if I run the Sitemap Generator manually from within vBSEO Sitemap Reports or it runs automatically from Scheduled Tasks - it does not pick up any forums without posts. But when running the cron job manually from Scheduled Tasks the empty forums will get picked up and added to the sitemap.

Anyone else experience/confirm this?

When I do this - my forum becomes inaccessible.. ?

Are you using mod rewrite in your forum?

Nope. No vBseo either

Although I moved the forum into a new directory when I upgraded it, and have 301 redirects in place for that.
