    I'm using a Windows server with IIS.

    I built the sitemap.xlt with rights for Read Write and Execute.

    I choose Custom Location and used http://cheapguns.biz/wordpress/wp-admin/options-general.php/sitemap.xml in the first option and http://cheapguns.biz/sitemap.xml in the second.

    I get the following error: Warning: fopen(http://cheapguns.biz/wordpress/wp-admin/options-general.php/sitemap.xml) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections. in D:\hosting\member\wslade\site2\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\google-sitemap-generator\sitemap.php on line 2005

    thats a server issue, not a wp or plugin issue.

    basically its telling you it cant open and write to that file given your server set up.

    Actually, your input was wrong. The first option there should be a local filepath, not a web address starting with http.

    Thanks for the replys.

    Earlier, I tried the default Automatic Detection setting that does have a local path simular to: d:\\hosting\\member\\xxxxxx\\xxxx\\wordpress\\wp-admin\\options-general.php/sitemap.xml

    I got the same error using the Automaitc setting.

    I appreciate any suggestions.

    That path doesn't make any sense.

    Try this path instead:

    d:\hosting\member\xxxxxx\xxxx\wordpress\sitemap.xml

    The path you want to use should be obvious, it's where you want the sitemap.xml file to be located.

    That worked! Thanks Otto
