[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] Unable to upload sitemap_index.xml to GWT

  • Whenever I try to upload the sitemap_index.xml file to Google Webmaster Tools it comes back with an error that says:

    We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit.

    Example:
    General HTTP error: 404 not found
    HTTP Error: 404

    I don’t have W3 Total Cache Plugin.. Any other reason why this is happening?

    Ok…

    WordPress version: 3.3.2
    WordPress SEO version: 1.1.9

    I did this: Deactivated all plugins aside from Yoast SEO, Tried with the developer version and the issue still persisted.

    I expected the plugin to do this: I expected my sitemap to be able to be submitted to Google Webmaster Tools without errors..

    Instead it did this: GWT Produced this error once I submitted my sitemap:

    We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit.

    Example:
    General HTTP error: 404 not found
