[jira] Closed: (OFBIZ-630) Create Google SiteMap for Ecommerce component.

Jacques Le Roux closed OFBIZ-630.
---------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: SVN trunk

OK, I found the reason (I'm rather new with Apache and Tomcat connector). I had to put the file in the "ServerAdmin" directory (the sitemap.xml file is not related to java).

>From my investigation, I don't think that a specific tool is needed for OFBiz eCommerce. There are plenty of tools, you just have to choose the ones you prefer.

Here are the links I prefer so far :
Online sitemap generator : http://www.auditmypc.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp
Sitemap validator :http://www.smart-it-consulting.com/internet/google/submit-validate-sitemap/index.htm
Sitemap editor : http://www.sitemapdoc.com/EditMap.aspx
And last but not least  : https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools

I close this issue. Feel free to reopen it or ask for if needed.

[jira] Commented: (OFBIZ-630) Create Google SiteMap for Ecommerce component.

Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-630:
---------------------------------------

I'm caught by this one. I have used 2 tools 
1. Firstly Windows local GSiteCrawler (good but needs Windows and uses VB, forget it) (found in Google page : http://code.google.com/sm_thirdparty.html)
2. Then Applet, really cool : http://www.auditmypc.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp (tool link is http://www.auditmypc.com/xml-sitemap.asp). It's not ASP only the site is (found by my myself).

I have generated a sitemap.xml file, checked it in Eclipse using Oxygen and http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd. (I used this URLset <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9
    http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd">) 
Compatible Google, Yahoo, MSN (see http://www.sitemap.org)

So all was smooth until I wanted to submit it in Google tools (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/). I had to submit it adding control/main/ to the real domain site name (eg http://www.mysite.com/control/main/sitemap.xml) because even if the file is in the OFBiz root, using Apache and Tomcat connector (AJP1
3) you need to do so (at least in my case). Then I got caught, Google forever says that my file has not the right format (I tried many ways).

Anybody an idea why Google does not want my file (which is correct for sure). An issue related to VirtualHost and JkMout ? I have a really simple one :
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@mysite
    ServerName mysite
	JkMount / ofbizServer 
	JkMount /control ofbizServer
	JkMount /control/* ofbizServer

	#<LocationMatch "/control">
	<LocationMatch "/">
        # list of the banned JLR 5/5/7 (did not work not sure why => use known IP addresses)
        #SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^TMCrawler" banned
        # deny them access
        #deny from env=banned
        deny from 128.241.20. #tmcrawler bot
    </LocationMatch>
</VirtualHost>

I suspect a problem there because I was not able to validate my sitemap.xml by 3d party sitemap validators (but the errors were incomprehensible)

Following sitemap.org advice, I have also put a line in the robot.txt file (in OFBiz root), hoping it will work (crossing fingers).

Thanks

---------------------------------------

Something I forgot : the smarter 3d party validators I used render an (incomprehensible) error :
"Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1. "
