RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml\.gz|txt))$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L] But, since my forum is not at root I had to add the folder where my forum and the sitemapname script files are located (/forum/) to the front of the url like this. RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /forum/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L] Now google is identifying them with a green sitemap tag and says "OK" after it finishes. |

Hi,
http://www.maloria.com/vbseo_sitemap...p_index.xml.gz shows my sitemap but http://www.maloria.com/sitemap.xml doesn't. My .htaccess file contains: Code:
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L] |
#1145

The line should be:
Code:
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L] |

Dark Blade,
did you try to generate sitemap manually using vbseo_sitemap/ interface? GrendelKhan{TSU, the correct URL is http://www.mysite.com/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz 4yBak, it should work correctly with vB3.6.0. Gary King, the correct URL is http://www.maloria.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz in your case |

I think the Read Me or posts here should reflect that the .htaccess files needs to reflect the path to the file on one's server, like if you do not have your forums in the root folder (ie: in a "forum" folder). Everyone was just saying "copy this htaccess exactly"....and since I don't really know how to read that code, I glazed over it. |
