I don't know how Web.sitemap is used, but there is an incorrect url
<siteMapNode url="~/Members/MyAccount" title="Account">
This should be MyOrders instead of MyAccount
MyAccount throws a 404.

Web.sitemap shows the general navigation of the store pages. It has been for creating breadcrumbs mainly under MyAccount section in AbleCommerce Gold. In the ac9, this file is not being used since there are no breadcrumbs under the account section.

Hi Nadeem, based on this post, I deleted our web.sitemap.

Then when I found how to create the sitemap.xml, and it failed, I found this error in the logs:

---
Exception: The file /Web.sitemap required by XmlSiteMapProvider does not exist. Stack Trace: at System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider.CheckSiteMapFileExists() at System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider.GetConfigDocument() at System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider.BuildSiteMap() at System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider.get_RootNode() at System.Web.SiteMap.get_RootNode() at AbleCommerce.Code.CommonSiteMapProvider.GetSiteMapItems(SiteMapOptions options) at AbleCommerce.Code.CommonSiteMapProvider.DoSiteMap(SiteMapOptions options, Boolean compress, List`1& messages) at
[and more!]
---

so the web.sitemap is required?

Can you shed some light on this please? Should I manually update the web.sitemap file? Or is this an obsolete code reference that fails hard if the file isn't there?

Thanks,
Charles

Yes, the sitemap provider expects the Web.sitemap file on the website root. So you don't need to delete this. And since the sitemap data is generated dynamically, you don't need to update the file manually. If you just keep the empty file (with base xml nodes), it will still generate the sitemap without any issue.

For example, the only the following info in Web.sitemp will still work

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
    <siteMapNode />
</siteMap>


The bottom line is, the file should be present at website root.
