Anyone knows how to use the rewrite rule on lighttpd? The one provided by vBSEO doesn't work...

Julian,
lighttpd has its own rewrite rules format. Please try the following: url.rewrite-once = ( "^/(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)" => "/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1" ) Please note that rewrite rules should be added to lighttpd.conf (Lighttpd configuration file). |

Can anyone point me to the fix for the Yahoo Forbidden error? This is a long thread and I can't find the fix with a search. Thank you...

- If you mean "Yahoo timeouts", you'll probably need to try it several times until it is submitted successfully - If Yahoo reports they're unable to download the sitemap because of a "Forbidden error", you should check the rewrite rules in .htaccess and try accesing the sitemap file using the browser to check if it works correctly. Btw, I just submitted your Yahoo sitemap (http://www.80sxchange.com/forums/sitemap.txt.gz) without errors. |
