I did it and still sitemapindex.xml is not found.

I still wonder why -www.colombianwarez.com/sitemap.php is workin and -www.colombianwarez.com/sitemapindex.xml is not working.

I've checked everything and it looks perfect, also made the steps you told me and everything went alright but the sitemapindex.xml is not working :S

Regards.

Since -www.colombianwarez.com/rss/news/rss.xml works, I assume that you have a physical file named sitemapindex.xml (if so delete it) at the same level as sitemap.php or that you have an .htacess implementation issue. Generating a new .htaccess the same way you did when installing the Ultimate SEO url mod's .htaccess should as well sort all this out.

Nope I don't have a file named sitemapindex.xml

As mentionned in the install, these :

Code: Select all

#####################################################
# GYM Sitemaps & RSS
# Global channels
RewriteRule ^rss(/(news)+)?(/(digest)+)?(/(short|long)+)?/?$ /gymrss.php?channels&$2&$4&$6 [QSA,L,NC]
# HTML Global news & map
RewriteRule ^(news|maps)/?(page([0-9]+)\.html)?$ /map.php?$1&start=$3 [QSA,L,NC]
# END GYM Sitemaps & RSS
#####################################################

should be placed after :

Code: Select all

# HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO ADD OTHER PHPBB RELATED REWRITERULES

But you might as well just generate a new .htaccess directly since it will do the job as well


++

still not working :s

In my forums footer I put the link to simemapindex.xml but I changed it to sitemap.php as .php is working perfect!

Don't know what else to do.

mm, strange, have you generated a new .htaccess ?

Additionally try to un-comment (remove the #) :

Code: Select all

# Options -MultiViews

++

Nope because I don't know how to gerenate a new .htaccess and the info in the .htaccess for the SEO?

If I generate a new .htaccess which I don't know how to do it. what happens with the lines I have in the .htaccess im using right now?

If you dont have any special rules in your htaccess than what you do is take the new code it gives you and replace the existing .htaccess with it.

To generate a new htaccess go into the ACP, PHPBB SEO, The URL ReWriting Settings, .htaccess .

I will give you a new htaccess that you can copy and paste into the existing one, overwriting the old one.

Just to be safe tho. Show us the contents of your current .htaccess so that we can tell you if you need to save any of the lines.

Typo

This is my .htaccess right now:

Code: Select all


# Lines That should already be in your .htacess
<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

# You may need to un-comment the following lines
# Options +FollowSymlinks
# To make sure that rewritten dir or file (/|.html) will not load dir.php in case it exist
# Options -MultiViews
# REMEBER YOU ONLY NEED TO STARD MOD REWRITE ONCE
RewriteEngine On
# REWRITE BASE
RewriteBase /
# HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO FORCE CANONICAL DOMAIN
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.colombianwarez\.com$ [NC]
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.colombianwarez.com/$1 [QSA,L,R=301]

# DO NOT GO FURTHER IF THE REQUESTED FILE / DIR DOES EXISTS
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]

Could you please put down a new .htaccess with the info I need just to replace the one I'm using right now.

THanks a lot!

Simply replace the existing .htaccess with the new one.

Replace the whole thing with a newly generated one. I cannot do it for you because the .htaccess you see when you go into that screen is generated in real time based on the setting choices you have made.

Typo

The one I see when I go to ACP?
