the sitemap.xml and sitemap.xml.gz files need to be in the wordpress root directory, in which directory are they there on your pic?

Yeah, html_public. With the archive wp-config.php
Please, help me! :(

This is a bug? Please fix or help me :(

Kwegner, the permissions should be set to 666, not 777. Otherwise the plugin won't be able to overwrite the file.

I used the debug mode and I obtain this:
Warning: is_writable() [function.is-writable]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/My-user:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/My-user/public_html/wp-content/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/sitemap-core.php on line 1627

trullinger: 777 is read/write/execute for owner/group/everyone, whereas 666 is read/write for owner/group/everyone, therefore 777 will always overwrite under normal circumstances.
GrYf: Seems there are some path issues. Might need to add your wp path to the PATH too. Alternatively you can check with your hoster if you can disable the open_basedir in php.ini file, or use ini_set to disable it.

My two files site in the domain root directory -- where my index.php and .htaccess files live -- WordPress files are separately in their own directory (which I have in my settings section of the Dashboard).
Can you go to ... http://www.yourdomainname.com/sitemap.xml and see there is a file, even though it is empty? Same for the zipped file?

I had this error, and spent a while trying to figure it out..
I figured out my problem.
The issue was that I had wordpress installed to wordpress.mysite.com
but I had it setup so that mysite.com would display it.
So to fix the issue I went to the configuration options
In location of your sitemap file I chose custom location.
Put in the absolute path (/home/websites/www.mysite.com/public_html/sitemap.xml)
I generated a blank sitemap.xml and sitemap.xml.gz files and set the permissions to 777 on those 2 files.
Clicked on rebuild sitemap and it worked fine.

This is a really stupid problem to have, it seems that most people that are having this problem is because they have sub-directories with a number of wordpress blogs.
'Interested Mind' I think you have the right idea as the "automatic Detection' pretty much sucks and doesn't look to where the site map is or should be so ppl will need to create a custom location to where the sitemap really should be located.

The problem is finding and knowing the exact directory to point to or at least knowing what custom location to point to for the sitemap?
