Try changing the start URL to [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]. rather than http://

But the url is [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
Or do you mean to mention that in the htaccess rules?

The error says There was an error while retrieving the URL specified: [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ] which means the start url is likely set without the www. prefix in the url.

Are you using one of our online services or our unlimited sitemap generator?

Hello,

I am using unlimited sitemap generator. I can use the online generator, and it can create the sitemap fine (this is what I have used the other day)
So i have added this code to htacces so now when I click on [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ] it goes to [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ] so it should work

Hello,

Ok I managed to find out the problem Starting URL: [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ] instead of [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
Changed it and it works now.
But now when it crawls it does half of it and then it shows an server error now :(

Hello,

I managed to make it work, but telling to crawl from it stopped last time.
But I seem to have problem creating the image sitemap :(
The other sitemaps are fine.
