That screenshot doesn't say what is wrong with your sitemap. The easiest way to create one is to just make a text file with each url on it's own line. http://www.mysite.com/index.php http://www.mysite.com/links.php http://www.mysite.com/contact.php Code (markup): Just include every url like that on it's own line. Submit that to Google Sitemaps and it should be accepted.
Make a text list of your pages (like shown above). http://www.mysite.com/index.php http://www.mysite.com/links.php http://www.mysite.com/contact.php Save it as somepage.html (I normally call mine sitemap.htm) Upload it to your server. Then go to a site like: http://www.sitemapspal.com/ (you can find other sites that do this as well) Enter the URL of the page you made http://www.mysite.com/somepage.html Click "Make My Sitemaps XML" It will generate the sitemap XML for you. Copy this and put it in a text file. Save the text file as sitemap.xml Upload this to your server. Now login to your google account and proceed. NOTE: ALL of your pages in the sitemap should have the same file extension (.htm, .html, .php whatever) For some reason google doesn't like sitemaps that have files with different extensions. They want a different sitemap for each different extension. I don't know why.

sitemap.xml.gz is in your root web server ? you can accessit with your browser at http://www.yoursite/sitemap.xml.gz ? If you stil have errors post the conf files (without comments) Regards Adrian
I followed Loress's Advice. It was great. I was able to quckly create a txt or xml file. Thank you so much.
Thanks Loress. I have been trying to build a site map manually, but the link you provided worked like a charm..
Is there any program which will scan my sites and then automatically generate the sitmap. Or something which takes my server logs, and parses all urls and creates a sitemap.
Why do you not use online sitemap creator to make sitemap.xml file. After that, upload your sitemap.xml file and add sitemap again at google. Just only 3 steps.
