  • The problem is with the compressed version. So first of all make sure you submit the non-compressed sitemap to Google.
    Second question, are you on Windows or Linux hosting? Only thing I can figure is problem with gzip on your server.

    I uploaded a phpinfo file to my server, maybe you want to check it to see if theres something that should be enabled and it isnt

    It told me gzip is enabled. But you need to take that down RIGHT NOW!
    It can people info to break into your site!

    NP I just uploaded so you could take a look to it ??

    Open a support ticket with your hosting company and ask them to test gzip on your server.

    Well I found the problem now :/
    It seem the bastards from my hosting company sold all the shared/vps accounts to another company which is a pice of shit….
    So im moving to another host now!

    Thanx for you help webjunk!

    Can you tell me what the “Technical Problem” was?
    Try to stick to one of the reliable hosting companies either on the front page here or that many people here use and never report issues.

    Well I dont really know the exact problem but I know is the host because I own another blog in other host and its working fine… and already tested my db and files on the new host with another domain and its working fine!

    Well its kinda difficult to me to find good hosters because I run warez sites (ie:I need offshore hosting)

    It seems I have a similar problem, I have tried putting it onto webmaster tools and red X occurs. Only difference is I get this message
    “XML Parsing Error: no element found
    Location: https://darkdesigngraphics.co.uk/sitemap.xml
    Line Number 1, Column 1:”
    when I type in https://www.darkdesigngraphics.co.uk/sitemap.xml into address bar, I have tried making sitemap manually but no help.

    Thanks for any help.
