Sitemap google in another location

Hi,

I want my sitemaps to be in the root folder

1.-What i want:

http://u2fanlife.com/sitemapfaq.xml

2.-What I got:

http://u2fanlife.com/faq/sitemapfaq.xml

What is the rewrite rule in .htaccess to do that?

Thank you very much

Hi,
we use the RewriteBase directive to avoid to write down the base path in each rule.
Just remove it and add the base part (i.e. /faq/) to all rules but the sitemap one. Enjoy PMF!

Ciao,
Matteo

Thank you for your quick response.

Please colud indicate me the exact change?

I tried this:

Original:

RewriteRule sitemap.xml$ sitemap.google.php [L]
RewriteRule sitemap.gz$ sitemap.google.php?gz=1 [L]
RewriteRule sitemap.xml.gz$ sitemap.google.php?gz=1 [L]

With the change:

I Delete RewriteBase /faq/

and changed

RewriteRule /faq/sitemap.xml$ /faq/sitemap.google.php [L]
RewriteRule /faq/sitemap.gz$ /faq/sitemap.google.php?gz=1 [L]
RewriteRule /faq/sitemap.xml.gz$ /faq/sitemap.google.php?gz=1 [L]

And didn't work (i think i'm doing something wrong)

Thank you again.

Best regards

Hi,
you need to add the base path to all the rules but those related to the PMF Google sitemap.
