toast691 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Using cubecart 6.0.12 on Retail therapy skin. URL is www.greenpatchseeds.com.au Hi, I'm not sure if these two are related but when I go to rebuild my sitemap I get a blank page without any error messages and nothing appears in the error log. I did find an error in my cpanel admin area that the robots.txt file could not be found. Below is that error. "2016-06-24 00:24:28.355 [INFO] [66.249.66.139:56697-0#APVH_69.73.183.189:443_greenpatchseeds.com.au] File not found [/home/augreenpatchseed/public_html/robots.txt] " What I am wondering is how I re-generate the robots.txt file and would it resolve the sitemap issue as well?

bsmither Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 You can create one incredibly easy. Using the programmer's text editor in your hosting account's control panel, create a new file "robots.txt" and for it's contents: User-agent: * Disallow: Every decent web crawler will ask for your site's robots.txt file, and if found, will honor its contents. If a blank file or no file, the crawler will happily scan everything. This will not fix the blank result after building a sitemap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast691 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Thanks Bsmither - I wasn't sure if I could just create the folder but I have done that and it is fine. Stami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
