Where is the value of default_host coming from

[antani]

I have put the following config:
SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.default_host = "http://cheapr.me"

When I generate the site map, the "loc" is coming up as :
http://cheapr.in/
Check -http://cheapr.me/sitemap.xml
I grep'd but there nowhere there is "cheapr.in" in any of the files in my project (I confess that I had originally planned to have my site - cheapr.in) - so unless there is some spooky mind-reading going on, how is the LOC changed to cheapr.in ?

From where is this domain picked up (and why my default_host is ignored ?)

Can you paste in your sitemap config? And what version of sitemap generator are you running?

I can't think of any reason why your default_host would be ignored...

The only way I can think of is if you are passing in full URLs to the add() method e.g.

add root_url

When it should be: add root_path.

I am not adding anything in the "create"

Sorry, I have the following entry in the "create" node.

SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.default_host = "http://cheapr.me"
SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.create do
add "/view"
end

Your config looks good. When I run it in a test Rails app it generates URLs with the correct hostname.

The sitemap you link to doesn't look like it matches the one you are generating. I would suggest deleting the sitemaps in public/ and then running your sitemap gen again.

Finally to be absolutely sure that you are seeing the correct sitemaps, you can call add like so:
add '/view', :host => 'http://anotherhost.com'

This forces the host for that URL. If you don't see anotherhost.com then you're not seeing the right sitemaps.

I removed the earlier sitemap files, modified the "add" line with
add '/view', :host =>"http://cheapr.me"
and regenerated the sitemaps. Now, there are two files generated (no sitemap.xml is generated)
sitemap1.xml.gz
sitemap_index.xml.gz
When I try to check http://cheapr.me/sitemap.xml I see 404

The sitemaps are compressed using GZip. You can uncompress them using WinZip, 7Zip or other tools. Then you can see the xml.

Note that the URL for your sitemap is: http://cheapr.me/sitemap_index.xml.gz

Thanks, I tried to expand the sitemap_index.xml.gz file - this file
contains - sitemap_index.xml
sitemap_index.xml file looks like :

http://cheapr.me/sitemap1.xml.gz

Is the "loc" element pointing correctly ?

Thanks,

Yes it's correct. http://cheapr.me/sitemap1.xml.gz is the sitemap file with your '/view' URL in it. You can remove the :host option from your call to add() now because everything is working correctly.
