I came across this discussion a few days ago, which prompted me to check my own sitemap, since I too use the SiteMapper action. Sure enough, I get a 404 in my Robots.txt file because I have the following line hard coded in there:
Sitemap: https://mydomain.com/sitemap.xml
I then opened my FTP client Transmit and did a keyword search for “site” in the root directory. Either Sitemapper or Freeway renamed it “sitemap2.xml”!!!
I manually renamed that XML file on my server back to “sitemap.xml”. And I deleted the sitemap2 file from my site folder. Sadly, when I made a change to my site, Published, and uploaded again today, the filename was back to “sitemap2.xml” again!
Walter, is there a way we can keep that important file from being renamed? Obviously, Sitemapper is there to rebuild the content of sitemap.xml when I re-Publish my site. And I of course use Freeway to upload via FTP. I am well aware Freeway renames files, and normally that’s not a big problem, but in this case it is. The sitemap file should never be renamed by Freeway.
Thanks,
James W.
