1. did you upload the .htaccess file or add the rewrite lines to your existing .htaccess file?
Yes
2. does your server permit mod_rewrite?
Yes (tested)
3. did you customize the location of the sitemap file in the vBSEO_sitemap options in your Admin CP?
No
4. did you try adding the following lines BEFORE the vBSEO_sitemap lines in .htaccess:
Code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
No, I will try this.
5. do you have any other mod_rewrite instructions in your .htaccess file? if so, ensure that only the last one ends with "[L]".
No, it's the one that came with the mod.
Thanks for the help, I'll report back success (or lack thereof)!
Edit:
Would this be correct????
Code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
