How to use my own sitemap.xml in opencart?

I uploaded my own generated sitemap.xml file to my public..html root directory for my site and I cannot see the page when I visit http://www.mydomain.com/sitemap.xml .

I followed instructions from older thread topic to comment out the rewrite condition that points to the sitemap file that opencart comes with but I had no success and http://www.mydomain.com/sitemap.xml still shows a blank page:

RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_base [L]


Please help :'(

open your .htaccess

find:

Code: Select all

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
replace with:

Code: Select all

RewriteBase /
# RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
now your uploaded sitemap should be accessible

As I stated in my intro I already tried that.

I did this:

find:

Code: Select all

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
replaced with:

Code: Select all

###RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
This did not work! How can I fix this?
