Generating Sitemap...

Sitemap has been generated!

This will create a file called sitemap.xml within your eZ Publish root directory.

Please ensure that your Apache rewrite rules permit access to the XML File when accessing like http://www.all2e.com/sitemap.xml

This can be done by adding the following lines to your .htaccess or Apache configuration file:

RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml - [L]

After these steps are finished you might add the script to your crontab so it will be generated frequently. You should also take a look at the googlesitemaps.ini.append.php configuration file.
