   I have installed Nginx as a reverse proxy on top of Apache (running on cPanel, CentOS 5.5, WP 3.05, WP SEO 0.4.1) and my Robots.txt is suddenly unreachable according to Google Webmaster. Do I have to manually create a redirect or edit an .htaccess (which under Nginx doesn't work anyway) ?

   Thanks so much for the advice!

   My plugin doesn't do anything with robots.txt... Don't know what could cause that to be honest.

   Ah, I thought the noindexes were written to a robots.txt. I will see what the error is then.

   But now... I recently upgraded the plugin from an earlier version that generated "sitemap.xml" and just come to realise the new one is not creating "sitemap_index.xml". Would that be needing an Nginx redirect? How can I force generate it?

   Thanks mate.

   I just found this thread:

   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-seo-by-yoast-sitemap-isnt-created-and-generates-errors-true-wordpress?replies=19

   And I can find the static sitemap.xml but I believe it is outdated from my previous version. What I also gathered is that there is no longer a physical XML but it rather gets generated on demand?

   That would mean I do need the Nginx redirect code or at least the path to the PHP, anyone know?

   Cheers!

   In W3Total Cache, under Browser Cache, try to disable "Set W3 Total Cache header" for HTML & XML and then restart Nginx and try again! It worked for me :)
