having same issue as others, tried many combinations and permutations...
but still getting 404 error when run a check via Google sitemaps.
-- uploaded all files to server and installed acc. to readme
-- uploaded .htaccess to root folder AND /forums/ folder (just in case)
with the following code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
-- configured the admincp for vbseo sitemap.
-- uploaded /addon/ folder with vbseo_sm_vba.php and added module name in the Addon Generator Modules of admincp. (i am running vbadv. CMPS).
actual folder structure is to the sitemap:
www .mysite . com/forums/vbseo_sitemap/data/sitemap_index.xml.gz
(is that right?)
but I submitted:
http :// www. mysite .com/sitemap_index.xml.gz
to google add sitemap verficatoin tool.
-I have "Run from vB Scheduled Tasks Manager ONLY" set to YES.
-and auto submitt is on..but I still wanted to verify it was working with a direct submit check).
-I have set a run direct code properly.
-nothing the extra urls.txt cause I don't really know what to do with that.
-yes, I have the cron job set up.
any ideas what am I doing wrong?

any help would be greatly appreciated.
