Error 330 (net::ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED): Unknown error.

I’m not sure when this started. I saw following error in the vBSEO sitemap. I’m using vBSEO 3.6.8 plugin on vBulletin on the forum where I’m getting this error.

This webpage is not available
The webpage at ../sitemap_index.xml.gz might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Error 330 (net::ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED): Unknown error.

This happens in Chrome.

vBSEO Google / Yahoo Sitemap for vBulletin Sitemap Error
vBSEO Google / Yahoo Sitemap for vBulletin Sitemap Error

In FF I see following error:

Content Encoding Error in Firefox
Content Encoding Error in Firefox

In IE the sitemap page doesn’t show up at all.

Sitemap Page doesn't show in IE
Sitemap Page doesn't show in IE

I did a search for error but couldn’t find any solution.

As per vBSEO support I need to upgrade the “vBSEO Google / Yahoo Sitemap for vBulletin” plugin.

It is not so easy as this site uses a complex setup of vBulletin, vBSEO and connected to Drupal. Top that up with the custom theme for vBulletin which makes it a bit of work top upgrade.

The solution suggested by vBSEO support is to upgrade vBSEO and “vBSEO Google / Yahoo Sitemap for vBulletin” without updating vBulletin.

I have another vBulletin based forum with latest version, I checked the sitemap there and it seems to be fine. So it seems that I’ve to upgrade the plugins to get it working.

I’ll try and keep posted with result.
