   I've read all the forums - tried all the fixes - what am I missing? I've spent countless hours on trying to configure this, still getting the error message(s) at the top of the page:
   "There was a problem writing your sitemap file. Make sure the file exists and is writable".

   Is there a tutorial on this anywhere? I think by trying everyone's fixes, I'm worried I'm doing more damage. I need a FIX (that works!!) real bad.

   Thanks in advance,
   Mae

   My intuition tells me it has something to do with the fact that my host username and URL are different? WHO KNOWS...

   Instead of setting the permissions to 666 try 777 for a test. If that works, ask your host what their preferred settings are for this situation, It may be something like 705... It is not wise to leave it at 777 unless your hosting company tells you to do that.

   I looked at your site and

   Looks ok to me...

   If you are using a windows server you maybe should look at this solution...
