Hi David,
I get a lot of 404 Errors in webmastertools sitemap.php
The url which isnot found Comes from
http://www.example.com/product/DKNY-JEANS-Tops-Item-37329795.html
and should be
http://www.example.com/products/DKNY-JEANS-Tops-Item-37329795.html
Where is the code for changing product into products?
Regards
Roland
Hi David,
I already have edited sitemap.php before. My Research shows that this error comes from a very old datafeed which I have deleted since long time. Don't know why this appears now again:
http://www.example.com/sitemap.php?filename=24285_257896_mp.txt&start=50000
How can I delete this sitemap, which I think does only exist in the database? I think it was not deleted correctly.
Regards
Roland
Hello Roland,
Please could you email me a link to the actual sitemap page that is generating the old URLs and I'll check that out right away for you...
If you could also attach to the email from this installation:
sitemap.php
includes/tapestry.php
Thanks!
David.

Hi David,

but the file 24285_257896_mp.txt as well as the feed 24285_257896_mp.txt does not exist. I dleted it about 6 months ago. The error also appeard only 4 weeks ago and not before.

Hi Roland,
It sounds like a request for a removed per-feed sitemap, so what would actually be worth doing is modifying sitemap.php to return 404 (Not Found) in this instance. To do this, look for the following code at line 4:
header("Content-Type: text/xml");...and REPLACE with:
if (isset($_GET["filename"]))
{
if (!file_exists("feeds/".$_GET["filename"]))
{
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
exit();
}
}
header("Content-Type: text/xml");Cheers,
David.

Thanks for that....I will watch this.

Hi Roland,
I think you're running a distribution from before there was a centralised function for creating the product HREF so in this case, edit sitemap.php directly, search for
product/...and REPLACE with:
products/...as required.
Cheers,
David.
