I followed your instruction and changed the .htaccess, but opening http://www.mysite.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz does not open the sitemap index. The sitemap index should be accessible from that url right?

Have the bugs been worked out on this?

any idea please

i want to put the entire folder inside /vb/archive/

instead of

/vb/

how to make that??

My .htaccess at the root is input like this:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Is there anything wrong?

Do i need a .htaccess for my forum folder too? The instruction didn't state that.

Alfa1,

sitemap URL is: http://yourforumsroot/sitemap_index.xml.gz


forumbust,

rewrite rules for vBSEO Sitemap Generator should be entered in .htaccess file in forums folder.

Yes, this works: http://www.mysite.com/forum/sitemap_index.xml.gz
but google says it needs to be at http://www.mysite.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz

I had the same problem. The way I got it to work was to go to settings and in the box for Sitemap Files URL enter http://www.yoursite.com now in your root .htaccess file add forum/ in front of vbseo_sitemap/.
example below:
btw this great product works perfect with vB 3.7 RC3

sitemap_1.xml.gz
urllist.txt.gz
