Hi, I recently installed the 6 x 2.0 unstable5 version on my multisite setup (after completely uninstalling the old version 6.x-2.x Dev dated 21st August 2009) and since then have been getting "page not found" error message whenever I attempted to visit the sitemap.xml page.
After the installation of the new version I rebuild the sitemap, removed all the cached files and ran cron several times but that did not help. I tried this on all the sites on my multisite setup which has one codebase and multiple databases, one database for each site with English as the only language, and on every site I got the same error message "Page Not Found"
Surprisingly, there are no error messages anywhere on the log files except the "Page Not Found" error message.
Finally, I uninstalled the 6.x-2.0 unstable5 version and re installed the old dev version (6.x-2.x-Dev dated 21st August 09) and every thing worked fine again.
I am happy with the old version as this works well for me but thought that I should bring this to the notice of the developers of this module just in case something needs to be done. So please treat this as a report only and feel free to close this issue at any time as I already have the (6.x-2.x-Dev dated 21st August 09) working on my site.
It may be pertinent to mention here that the latest dev version (6 x 2 Dev) dated November 2009 also gives similar "page not found" error message.
Thanks for your time and efforts.
Best Regards

Wait, you rebuilt the sitemap then removed the cached files? You should not do that! :)

What files currently exist in your sites/mysite.com/files/xmlsitemap folder?

Thanks Dave, for your prompt response.

Answer to your first question:

Not exactly, I first tried to view the sitemap.xml page on my browser and got the "Page Not Found" error and had a look at the xml sitemap folder where I could not see any files. Then, I cleared the cache on the performance page and again rebuilt the sitemap with the same result: "Page Not Found"

Answer to your second question:

The files that currently exist on my xmlsitemap folder are:
1). xmlsitemap-en-0.xml
2). xmlsitemap-en-1.xml

This is after I reinstalled the older dev module dated 21st August 09, which works for me

Can you confirm you've still had this problem with the latest code at all? If not, feel free to mark the issue as fixed.

I recently ran across this issue, i.e. find a 'page not found' error when trying to view the sitemap.xml page on my multisite deployment.

Turns out, after a little digging, that the owner/permissions to my sites/[sitename]/files directory were incorrectly configured. With a little testing, and submitting the admin form admin/settings/xmlsitemap/sitemap (to test that the configuration had the sufficient ownership/permissions settings for Drupal to write the necessary XML files), I fixed my problem.

I am aware that this is not directly related to the previous issue, but I figured I would post something here as this thread was my first result for "xmlsitemap page not found". HTH.
