# [Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps] “no input file specified” error

 * I installed the plugin according to the directions, and I’ve created my sitemap
   files, but it still tells me they cannot be found or aren’t writeable — which
   I find odd, because I have them located in two places just to be safe:
    (i.e.
   chrisbrownweb.com/sitemap.xml & chrisbrownweb.com/blog/sitemap.xml), and the 
   sitemap.xml.gz file is in both directories too.
 * I’ve done EVERYTHING I can think of.
 * Why am I getting an error that reads “no input file specified” every time I try
   to build the sitemap?

 * I found something interesting that might be helpful.
 * When I click “Update Options” it takes me to this URL:
    [http://www.chrisbrownweb.com/home/cbweb/public_html/blog/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=sitemap.php](http://www.chrisbrownweb.com/home/cbweb/public_html/blog/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=sitemap.php)
 * When it ought to be:
    [http://www.chrisbrownweb.com/blog/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=sitemap.php](http://www.chrisbrownweb.com/blog/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=sitemap.php)
 * How would I fix it goes to the correct URL?

 * Should be hopefully fixed in the next release.
