Ditto. Thanks for this. After reading this thread a lot, it installed perfectly with vB 3.5.1 and vBSEO 2.2.0.
EDIT - I seem to be having a rewrite problem -
http://www.mysite.com/forums/sitemap.txt.gz
I wanted to look at this before submitting to Yahoo. It just redirects to my forum home.
I do have the .htaccess in /forums and other stuff went smoothly - direct run, verify with Google..
Edit 2- For now I copied my .gz files to /forums. Still curious why the rewrite didn't work.
