location = /sitemapindex.xml
    {
        allow all;
        log_not_found off;
                access_log off;
        rewrite ^/forum(.+)$ /forum/index.php?p=$1 last;
    }

Please don't post on old threads, and especially not when they don't have anything to do with your issue!

this best askin new discussion @johntang

if category_1.xml, etc are physical location they should be caught by try, There is no need to put it through vanillia's dispatcher if they are cached files.

If you need to use pattern matching you can do it, however I'm not getting what it is you wish to match. Are you using a plugin for your site map?

have you tried this plugin?

http://vanillaforums.org/addon/sitemaps-plugin

it handle sitemaps an routes internally.

Yes, I'm using this module.

on sitemapindex.xml, I saw:

sitemapindex
sitemap
loc
http://..../xml_1.xml
/loc
/sitemap
sitemap
loc
http://..../xml_2.xml
/loc
/sitemap
/sitemapindex

But click to these xml file, Page not found is showing up.

Sitemaps for your forum is not needed. Forums provide an easily traversable link hierarchy.
