Nginx – Video Sitemap returns 404

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › How to … › Nginx – Video Sitemap returns 404

  • encodia 7 years, 5 months ago

    Hi there,
    we are using Nginx and we did activate your video sitemap xml

    Tha main page (the listing of single sitemaps) it works fine, but single xml file returns an error 404.

    This works: /video-sitemap.xml
    This does not work: /video-sitemap.2017-01.xml

    We are using YOAST and their commons rules but I don’t think about a conflict:

    #Yoast SEO Sitemaps
    location ~ ([^/]*)sitemap(.*).x(m|s)l$ {
    ## this rewrites sitemap.xml to /sitemap_index.xml
    rewrite ^/sitemap.xml$ /sitemap_index.xml permanent;
    ## this makes the XML sitemaps work
    rewrite ^/([a-z]+)?-?sitemap.xsl$ /index.php?xsl=$1 last;
    rewrite ^/sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 last;
    rewrite ^/([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 last;
    ## The following lines are optional for the premium extensions
    ## News SEO
    rewrite ^/news-sitemap.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=wpseo_news last;
    ## Local SEO
    rewrite ^/locations.kml$ /index.php?sitemap=wpseo_local_kml last;
    rewrite ^/geo-sitemap.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=wpseo_local last;
    ## Video SEO
    rewrite ^/video-sitemap.xsl$ /index.php?xsl=video last;
    access_log off;
    }

    Would you like to help us, please?

    Regards

    Hello encodia,

    please try to disable these Yoast SEO NginX rewrite rules and it should work. FV Player uses the WordPress rewrite API which doesn’t require any special rewrite rules on web server level – the basic WordPress .htaccess or a NginX rewrite rule will succeed.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi there,

    I already disable those rules… but it seems I was unlucky. It doesn’t works.

    Hello encodia,

    could you please post your rewrite rules? Install the https://wordpress.org/plugins/rewrite-rules-inspector/ plugin and you should be able to see the following rules:

    video-sitemap\.xml$ => index.php?feed=video-sitemap-index
    
    video-sitemap\.(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)\.xml$ => index.php?feed=video-sitemap&fvp_sitemap_year=$matches[1]&fvp_sitemap_monthnum=$matches[2]
    
    video-sitemap\.(\d\d\d\d)\.xml$ => index.php?feed=video-sitemap&fvp_sitemap_year=$matches[1]
    

    If solving this issue quickly is important, we are happy to take care of it for you directly on your website, just order our pro support: https://foliovision.com/pro-support We can also help you with further troubleshooting.
