I just moved to a new host. For reasons I don't understand my sitemap is now a 404 error.

XF 2.2 Thread '404 error after moving to new host'

Mar 1, 2023

Hi folks,
Ive just moved my forum ( www.accordionists.info ) to a new host and although the homepage works, whenever I click on a link to a forum or thread I receive a 404 not found error. The admin area seems to be working fine.
Any idea what I’ve done wrong?
Thanks

I just realized the .htaccess had been renamed to htaccess.

Something is still funky google is reporting invalid and there are only 4 entries when I view the file. There are 100k+ posts on the site.

If Similar threads worked well ... the solution should often be below the Trouble shooting post !







Google wins here

Okay this is okay. I have sitemap-1.xml sitemap-2.xml sitemap-3.xml but sitemap.xml reports as 404 at google but I can load it in browser.

SOLVED. Google needed to verify a dns record before allowing the sitemap to be loaded.
