 Posted: Sat Feb 24, 2007 8:25 am Post subject: Having problems with my GYM |
|
|
I installed Guest session mod, Removed WWW with htaccess and then Added the mix-rewrite mod. After that I installed the GYM module in my root (which is where my PHPBBforum is). I can access the admin panel but I cannot get the sitemap to work properly.
This is the link I am trying:
http://www.religiontalks.com/sitemap.php
Any idea what I could have done wrong??? |

It looks correct to me. Remember that the "root" sitemap is a collection of sitemaps by forum, for example:
http://www.religiontalks.com/sitemap.php?forum=3
Google et al are happy to start at the root sitemap and walk the forum sitemaps. BTW, you skipped the URL remapping:

RewriteRule ^urllist\.([txt|txt\.gz]+)$ /urllist.php [L]
#########################################################
# END GYM SITEMAPS AND RSS REWRITE RULES #

With these installed the URL to submit to google would be:
http://www.religiontalks.com/sitemaps.xml
If you upload the XML stylesheet (ggs_style folder), you can browse it.
http://www.phpbb-seo.com/sitemaps.xml.gz |

 Cool! Thanks for showing me that I forgot that step. (I was working on it late last night, so it must have slipped my mind to upload the proper htaccess)
I would like to avoid having duplicate pages; Do I need to install the zero dup mod?
I see in the admin panel of the GYM mod that it has an option to have zero dupe pages; Can I just use this instead of installing the other mod? |

The zero dupe mod handles these notable cases:
- An established board installs one of the rewrite mods; search engines that have cached the old URLs are redirected to the new URLs. This includes URLs that appear different but in fact return the same results. That is, viewtopic.php?t=xxx and a post within the same thread viewtopic.php?p=yyy are mapped to anchor-marked topicxxx.html#yyy. From the search engine's viewpoint, topicxxx.html and topicxxx.html#yyy are not duplicate URLs, unlike the ?t and ?p URLs.
- A board with the advance rewrite mod (title injection); if a title is changed, the URL changes. The zero dupe redirects the old URL (old title) to the new URL (new title).
- A board with the mixed mode rewrite mod (forum injection); if a thread is moved, the URL changes. The zero dupe redirects the old URL (old forum) to the new URL (new forum).
Your board is not yet listed in google, so there's no urgent need to install the zero dupe mod. You probably should over the long haul to keep things tidy. |
