Jack_mcs 1,044 Posted November 23, 2011 Ok, thanks for the information. You addon is great, it's just so frustrating when you can't get it to work and have tried everything. My output in standard mode is: define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/customers/3/7/f/shop.se//httpd.www/'); Any hints will be appreciated. Thanks... I don't know if it is causing your problem but the above is wrong. It should be define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/customers/3/7/f/shop.se/httpd.www/'); Support Links: Need Help?

Jack_mcs 1,044 Posted November 23, 2011 Hi Jack, Thanks for the updated contribution. Everything is working for except for the Pages sitemap. I have downloaded the latest version of the contribution and installed today. I have changed the line of code at line 299 - $filename, as suggested in the begining of the discussion. It seems to return exactly the same result. I have used the alternate file but that returns False on all sitemaps. I'm not completely sure if its a path problem? Will it be a path problem if the other sitemaps are produced correctly? Please post your configure file (without the login entries). Support Links: Need Help?

Please help me. mysuccess First, there isn't just one contribution that will SEO your site. See my signature for the ones I recommend. That still won't completely SEO it since you have to setup the pages, but they will give you a big jump on it. For any contribution, you download the package, unzip it and follow the included instructions. For all of my contributions, I alway supply a full install with instructions and completed file. There aren't many other contributors that do that and many just upload one file, which won't help in your case. Support Links: Need Help? See this thread and provide the information requested.

Jack_mcs 1,044 Posted November 25, 2011 Hi Jack, as requested my config file define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', ''); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', ''); The above are incorrect, though I don't know if they will cure your problem. Here is what they should be. define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.:www.hopscotchhandmadegifts.co.uk'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.:www.hopscotchhandmadegifts.co.uk'); Also, are you sure the following is correct? There's no way for me to tell without knowing your hosts path but it doesn't look rigth: define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/var/www/vhosts/hopscotchhandmadegifts.co.uk/httpdocs/eshop/'); You should ask your host if /var/www/vhosts/hopscotchhandmadegifts.co.uk/httpdocs/eshop is the correct path; Support Links: Need Help?

I spoke to the host and they say the path is correct. It looks like it does because its on a Plesk virtual host/server apparently. It's not however overly important for me, I can write a manual sitemap for the pages as there's only about 6 or so. I get the important products and manufacturers sitemaps. I will keep my eye on the thread and if I find a solution, will post here. Thanks for looking Regards Richard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Antonin 0 Posted December 6, 2011 What happens when you try the alternate setting, per the instructions? Hi, I tried again today. And I am a step further. Today I have run the sql file, an error occure (no database selected), so I input the values manually. So these datas are in the database. Now I go admin/configuration/google xml seo and - the file is empty, no values, nothing to set. I would like to follow your instructions and try to do the alternate setting, but there is nothing to do it on. Was the failure to input the data manually? I dont think so. Am I right? Thank you very much. Antonin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Antonin 0 Posted December 15, 2011 Hi, I use the oscommerce 2.3.1 and added the Google xml Sitemap seo on. Using the google webmaster tool i have sent 3 xml files to google: sitemapindex.xml sitemapcategories.xml sitemapproducts.xml Only the sitemapindex was able to apply the urls to the web index. The other 2 contain reports like: the url address in the location of the sitemap file is not allowed therefore both of them are signed with a red cross in the list. Could I ask you for help, how to fix this thing, please? When they arent allowed I need not to have them there, but I want. thank you very much Antonin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is an option in your account to test the sitemaps so you should try that to, hopefully, find the problem.
