Site Map Error

[dorich]

I'm submitting a site map to google using a Wordpress plugin.

 

The site map is being rejected for two errors. One is undefined and the other gives a reference to html error 500

 

-

We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit.

HTTP Error: 500

Problem detected on: Mar 21, 2011

 

I don't know what this means but research on html error 500 suggests that it’s a problem on the server side.

 

Is this likely to be something concerned with TCH or is it likely to relate to the Wordpress files on the site.

 

The site involved is a subdomain running Wordpress 3.0.1

 

Thanks

Last time I did one it was an XML file which is a text file. Make sure you uploaded it in ASCII mode and not Binary. Not sure if you need to change the permissions of it or not. Try 644 for the permissions after uploading in it in ASCII mode.
