Default OOTB of generating sitemap in AEM are not working

[bhagchand]

Hi All,

I am facing issue while generating sitemap.xml, We have followed AEM document "https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-learn/sites/seo/sitemaps.html?lang=en" but it not works.

Currently we are using AEM as a cloud service, we also checked it on 3 different machines but observed same issue, can you please help to resolve.

Please find a video for your reference "https://www.loom.com/share/0b84322697f24eddb8824c7badff42e1"

Thanks in advance

Hi @bhagchand ,

Try using sitemap as a selector and xml as extension. Can you check once in author env with below url, 

http://localhost:4502/content/ranosys-website/global.sitemap.xml 

If it works publish sitemap configs and content changes to publisher and check.

Hi @Kishore_Kumar_ ,

Thanks a lot, Yes I am able to open this 

http://localhost:4502/content/ranosys-website/global.sitemap.xml 

Is there any way to make sitemap at root level  like this http://localhost:4502/content/ranosys-website/sitemap.xml 

Thanks in advance

Hi @bhagchand ,

Can u try unchecking "Generate Sitemap" in global page property and check the same property in ranosys-website.

[bhagchand]

Okay, it means AEM generates sitemap automatically.

Hi @Kishore_Kumar_ ,

I have unchecked the Generate Sitemap check box, then this url "http://localhost:4502/content/ranosys-website/sitemap.xml".

then this giving 404 error

after checked global "Genrate Sitemap" then this url 

"http://localhost:4502/content/ranosys-website/global.sitemap.xml"

also giving 404 error.

Is there any configuration or cron which we needs to run ??

Thanks in advance

Hi @bhagchand I didn't see you activated the global page in your local author.

Also I see that the url you are hitting should be lolcalhost:4503/content/ranosys-website/global.sitemap.xml based on the url that is used in demo video. 

Can you try that please?

Hi @bhagchand

I hope you have a redirect/Vanity for http://localhost:4503/content/ranosys-website/global to http://localhost:4503/global instead you should revoke that redirect and try as shown below

http://localhost:4503/content/ranosys-website/global.sitemap.xml

Note:

Site map functionality is available with AEM 6.5.11 and also in AEMaaCs. Make sure you are using appropriate version. Also once you enable the sitemap for a particular page you can verify whether the following value is been set
