[ABD] phpBB3 SEO Sitemap

It simply is not generated. No errors, nothing.

Same here. Installed perfectly, sync'd posts, but no sitemap

Ask your hoster to enable mod_rewrite on the server. If it's enabled, ensure that .htaccess file in forum root directory is correct. See correct .htaccess in phpBB 3.1 package: https://www.phpbb.com/downloads/

Make the "Excluded forums:" box at least twice as tall.

Ок.

I have a nginx server. Not a apache server.

[BrainStone]

Ok. I fixed it by manually converting all the .htaccess files to a nginx config.

mod_rewrite is enabled and htaccess is correct

3.1.1 on a Linux server

Good info.
Can you post here exact nginx instructions?

Does this service make a correct conversion?

mod_rewrite part is:

Code: Select all

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

mod_rewrite is enabled and htaccess is correct

3.1.1 on a Linux server

Forum is the same as that in the signature?

BTW the previous version worked as expected in 3.0.12 on the same server

[Shredder]

Code of this version is not different from previous. The big difference is core of new phpBB. New phpBB version uses rewrite rules for such of mods, and this is the problem. I'm not too familiar with server management and thus have no idea why it's not working on your server, except for already suggested.

[HiFiKabin]

Strange. I'll keep on poking it and see if I can see why it won't work

This is the relevant part:

Code: Select all

  location / {
    if (!-e $request_filename) {
      rewrite ^(.*)$ /app.php;
    }
  }
  
  location = /config.php {
    deny all;
  }
  
  location = /common.php {
    deny all;
  }
  
  location /cache/ {
    deny all;
  }
  
  location /config/ {
    deny all;
  }
  
  location /files/ {
    deny all;
  }
  
  location /images/avatars/upload/ {
    deny all;
  }
  
  location /includes/ {
    deny all;
  }
  
  location /store/ {
    deny all;
  }

  location ~ \.php$ {
    # Your personal php settings. They vary. But they have to be here!
  }

  # Important!
  location ~ /\.ht {
    deny all;
  }

(If your forum is not in the root directory you have to add the put the relativ path infort of every of the location statements except the last two. They stay the same.

Example: Your forum is at /forum/ (not /) so location = /config.php becomes location = /forum/config.php

Yes. I used it. I had to manually change some settings slightly but that is a minor issue.

I think this should be included in the install instructions. Could save a lot of users a lot of trouble!

I've checked the checks, and mod rewrite is installed and working. htaccess is as written.

I've uninstalled, deleted data, reinstalled and its still not producing a sitemap

A little site note:

There won't be a file named sitemap.xml located in your root directory of your forum. BUT you will get it if you got to this address: http://hifikabin.me.uk/sitemap.xml

So thats why I couldn't find it. I just assumed there would be a file in the root.

Thanks

[aydun]

Just installed this, works perfectly

However, is it possible to have an option to include the forum root (/phpbb3/index.php) in the site-map? And also possibly the domain root (/index.php)?
Thanks!

[GoBieN]

I have nginx webserver too, I have the rewrite rule for app.php in place, and all other extensions are working as expected.
My phpBB is installed in folder called /forum/
If I try to fetch site.com/sitemap.xml or site.com/forum/sitemap.xml I just get a 404 error.

When I look in the ACP on the settings page I see the following text.
Total amount of URL in sitemap:
But there is no number after it, does that mean it's not working?
