Sitemap problem - rab - 2009-10-01
Hey Guys got a problem with my sitemap generation, from what i can gather the install never generated the file or couldnt create it via the admin build sitemap button, so i simply created a file called sitemap.xml and chmod it to 777.
Once i reran the admin build sitemap button it completed the process with a success message so i though i had fixed it, however now when i check the url out www.mysitename.com/sitemap.xml i get this error message
Error!
XML parsing failed
XML parsing failed: syntax error (Line: 4, Character: 0)
Reparse document as HTML
Error:invalid character

Thanks rab! sorry you are having a sitemap problem... can you attach the sitemap that it generated so i can see it?

yep sure no problem, and no worries i dont think its anything to do with the cms more so with the way my webhosts are configured perhaps, would explain my problems i had with the .htaccess file and i checked a few of the other sites set up under the forum section for sites using get simple and all their sitemaps worked fine.
okay i think i attached the file correctly, thanks for the time to look at this.

Ok ccagle thanks for looking at this, but i did just find out the error, it was to do with how i created the sitemap.xml file using wordpad rather than notepad and the embedded .rtf of that file was causing the error.
It's weird i didnt realise there was any kind of formatting from doing that, so i created a new sitemap.xml using notepad instead and it worked fine.
Thanks again

i also have a problem with the sitemap. First i got an error, that it could not be created... so i created one sitemap.xml at ftp root. now the backed says, that sitemap creation was successfull and 4 search engines have been informed.
The problem is now, that my sitemap.xml file is always empty.
Do you have an idea how to fix that?
