Does anybody know where to put the html files when verifying a site with google webmaster tools? I can get one to work but I have several sites on the same code base so I don't know where to put the file. Thanks.
If you're using the gsitemap module, there is a setting to just put the google_xxxxxxxxx.html reference right in the configuration settings, which produces the output "Hello, Google", but dropping it in the document root works also. I prefer the former method. If I wish to upgrade the Drupal version, I am not burdened to remember extraneous files in the document root should I choose to do a "full" upgrade, as is suggested in the documentation. I will qualify this by saying that this method of upgrading is more important for version upgrades as opposed to point upgrades.
beejaysea the problem with using gsitemap module is that I have multiple sites running under one code base.
i have two sites, but with individual code-bases, so this might be a stupid question, but when you have multiple sites under one code base, doesn't each site have it own settings, configurations, modules, etc?
You can optionally share parts of the database between sites. As long as the sites have different databases for the nodes and taxonomy terms, I don't see why xmlsitemap wouldn't work (FYI, xmlsitemap, not gsitemap as previously stated. I forgot that it was migrated to xmlsitemap.)
