Hello,

I am using XML sitemap version 5.16. I already submitted it to google webmaster tools sitemap submission.

But, now, after 2 weeks, I don't know why Google always show error message to my sitemap. I have uninstall the module and install it again, but google error message still come out. But, if you see my XML sitemap, everything is okay.

This is the sitemap error message from google:

Invalid URL
This is not a valid URL. Please correct it and resubmit.

URL: http:///magazine/real-world-adobe-illustrator-cs2
Parent tag:url
Tag:loc
Problem detected on: Sep 22, 2008

looks like google doesn't recognize my domain name in sitemap URLs.

And this is my sitemap location : http://www.redmagz.info/sitemap.xml

Please tell me is there something wrong in my XML sitemap installation.

Thanks for your help.

Is that the only URL Google is having trouble with?

All URLs in the sitemap are the same. I tried to repair it by giving $base_url variable in setting.php with my domain (http://www.redmagz.info) and it's work.

Now, I have more trouble with google webmaster tools. I got new error message (parsing error).

Parsing error
We were unable to read your Sitemap. It may contain an entry we are unable to recognize. Please validate your Sitemap before resubmitting.

I really appreciate for your help. I am really desperate about this right now.

Thank you.

Your site map validated with no errors. Maybe something is wrong with your Google Tools set-up.

Thank you very much Darren. My sitemap is okay right now. But I still have to re-install it again in every few days. Because, those errors will come again usually after few days (about 3-5 days) especially in peak traffic days.

But for now it's okay. Thank You again Darren. Wish you luck :)
