FoF Sitemap Error 404

BlindOracle

The issue

Hi there,
I'm reaching out as I ran into some issues with the FoF sitemap extension, maybe somebody can help me?

As far as I can tell, no sitemap.xml file is being created, the webserver is reporting an error 404 all the time. I'm running a dockered flarum on top of Unraid, available to the public via a cloudflared tunnel.

Already tried the Nginx location settings but won't work either

Thank you in advance!

BlindOracle no sitemap.xml file is being created

This is expected. The URL will be answered by Flarum's index.php catch-all router.

I visited your website and see the /sitemap.xml returns an nginx 404 error page instead of the Flarum 404 error page, so it means the request never reaches Flarum.

The nginx fix/workaround from the documentation usually fixes this issue. Make sure it's applied at the right place. If you use nginx as a reverse proxy in front of the actual webserver (which could be nginx or other) the request might be stopped there at the proxy.

Hello there and thanks very much.
I've been using this docker image: https://github.com/crazy-max/docker-flarum
Which had this issue. After adding the Nginx.conf modification, it now works.

Thank you very much for leading to the correct troubleshooting point.
