gym not creating xml filePosted: Thu Feb 08, 2007 2:18 am    Post subject: gym not creating xml file

first off i love this site it is a big help.

but i installed gym on my phpbb and everything went ok but it is not creating the xml files
you can go to http://www.ps3boycott.com/rss.php and it works but rss.xml does not. this is the same with sitemap too.

i have ezportal with mixed mod_rewrite and cybers sid mod installed.

any help or clues would be great

looks like it's working now Wink

With XSLtransform Wink

To have the rewritten links up and running (like rss.xml sitemaps.xml and urllist.txt) you just need to add the mod's rewriterules as suggested.
As everything is installed in the root level, you'll just need to paste the root install rewriterule set at the end of your .htaccess.

I am having the same problem. The following message is showing when going to http://wegcommunity.com/sitemap.php:
Quote:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
The stylesheet does not contain a document element. The stylesheet may be empty, or it may not be a well-formed XML documen...



This is what I have in my .htaccess which is located on the root.
Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

The last line is for redirect to my portal page.

I have tried the .htaccess with each rewrite by its self but I still get the same error message.
Any idea what might be causing this problem? I do have another sitemap at http://wegcommunity.com/sitemaps.php that works fine, but I am looking to get the sitemap to report in .xml for Google.

And welcome.

Just looks like you're in the case where the auto detection of the sitemap.php file (and rss.php and urllist.php as well) does not work.

You just need to hard code the full URL to you're sitemap.php file in sitemap.php, so just replace :

Code:
// $paths['sitemap_url'] = 'http://www.example.com/eventual_folder/';


With :

Code:
$paths['sitemap_url'] = 'http://wegcommunity.com/';


In your case, and do the same for rss.php, with $paths['rss_url'], and urllist.php with $paths['yahoo_url'].

RC3 is soon to come and should not fail this often for auto detection.

To me it's working now, you just need to activate mod_rewrite in acp to have the rewritten urls for the sitemaps.

And don't get tricked by the cache (both browser and module) when changing settings Wink
