when I run the site map generator all I get is a page of:
Warning: gzwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/webadmin/bakermedia.com/html/learn/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_sitemap_functions.php

I have checked and rechecked that I did everything right, can anyone tell me what they think is wrong? thank you

mikeB,

please make sure that you set correct permissions for vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder (this is where all files are saved).

Well, I have this installed and have it working for the most part.
Except, when I click the Show Reports List and click the links for the sitemap, they do not show up.

The link shows /forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz

This produces a 404 error when I click on it.
When I remove the /forums and manually enter the url mydomain.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz
It display fine.

Is this a bug or do I have something configured wrong.

After using this for a few weeks, I could not be happier with how well it is working. The rankings for my site in Google have skyrocketed to the top, and I'm almost embarrassed to be listed as the first link for some of the searches (but it is definitely driving traffic). I run a motorcycle forum, and one of the subforums is a news forum that pulls in RSS feeds from various motorcycle news sites. This sitemap generator is so effective, that even when web users put in the exact title of the article, often the link to the post on my site is higher than the link to the actual article on the original site. Also, it shows up on Google no more than a day or two behind the posting on my site (showing that Google is definitely using the sitemaps to update their site a heck of a lot quicker than the typical 8-week full cycle of their web bot). Thanks for putting this together....

cgchris99,

the sitemap files are linked to your forums root. So, in case if your vb root is "mydomain.com/forums", sitemap URL is "mydomain.com/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz". Please make sure that your .htaccess file resides in forums/ folder too.


aciurczak,

thank you for your comments! :)

Did you chmod the directory?

I did "CHMOD 777 the 'vB-root/vbseo_sitemap/data/' folder"

so that means only that one folder right?

Hi,

/home/webadmin/bakermedia.com/html/learn/vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder should have 0777 permissions. Please check that.

I do not kow why but today when I try I get to this point:
