xml Sitemap file, how can I get it ??

[roov]

Hello

in admin area I click to generate sitemap and I looked in my server file manager and noticed that a new sitemap.xml file exit in mysite.com/tmp/sitemap.xm

it exist on tmp directory, not in the root directory , I tried to copy that file from tmp folder to the root folder and then access it via browser like this http://mysite.com/sitemap.xml but I get redirected to 404 page error via htaccess


so how can get his sitemap file ? and how can I make it generated on the root and accessed directly via web browser so I can submit it to google webmaster tool ?

thank you

Greetings

Sitemap should be available from your script root location.
Example:
http://publishing.subrion.com/sitemap.xml

Please recheck the following.

a. you generated it in your admin panel -> top dropdown menu
b. your .htaccess file has the following content.

DirectoryIndex index.php

<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^js/ckeditor/fck_upload.php$ js/ckeditor/fck_upload.php [L]
RewriteRule ^fck_upload.php$ js/ckeditor/fck_upload.php [L]

RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ tmp/sitemap.xml [L]
RewriteRule ^tmp/sitemap.xml$ tmp/sitemap.xml [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)(\.xml|\.php([0-9]|)|\.tpl|\.ini|\.inc|/)$ index.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [L]
</ifModule>

AFAIK there was a problem with .htaccess in one of our versions. This will be fixed in our next version

thank you Vasily, the htaccess file was missing two lines , the xml lines
now it works correctly

Do I need to move the site map to the root?

Robot.txt as Disallow: /tmp/ Google can not get to the site map

If I do move the site map will it update automatically on the root?
