XML Sitemap Generator can't notify google and bing

Question

I am using wordpress Version 2.9.2 and XML Sitemap Generator 3.2.3

I have registered with Google Webmaster Tools.

But I get an error while notifying to Google and I really don't know what it means.

Heres a screenshot :

And when I click on view result it show me the following message:

Ping Test

Trying to ping: http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=http%3A%2F%2Fsearock.bplaced.net%2Fsitemap.xml.gz. The sections below should give you an idea whats going on.
Errors, Warnings, Notices:
WP_DEBUG was set to false somewhere before. You might not see all debug information until you remove this declaration!
Result (text only):
Result (HTML):

If I want to debug the error where can I find WP_DEBUG ? Can someone tell me what's wrong here.

Note : I have completed Google Webmaster verification process.

Thanks.

Answer 1

WP_DEBUG is a constant which you can define in wp-config.php to disable hiding of PHP errors and notices.

Add define('WP_DEBUG', true); to your config file to enable it.

Just remember to never leave it on for long on a live blog.

Since all pings fail this is likely not an issue with specific sitemap service, but with ping process itself. I think it might be HTTP requests failing for some reason, but there is no way to tell definitively from information you provided so far.

Try to Check your .htacces, and reset to wordpress default .htaccess;

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

and go to plugin to REBUILD Your Sitemap manually...., well at least IT WORKS FOR ME... !
