I am deploying a Django project with Gunicorn + Nginx. I create a sitemap.xml file with the sitemap framework. I use a 127.0.0.1:8001 proxy so when i access to example.com/sitemap.xml the result is similar to this:


<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
<priority>0.5</priority>
</url>


When i add sitemap.xml to the Google index in Google Webmaster Tools, Google does not allow the sitemap.xml because the domain in location tag is 127.0.0.1:8001 and not my domain.

Is there any solution to this problem?

I've posted this question in StackOverFlow too: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28263869/sitemap-xml-file-in-django-gunicorn-nginx-web

Thank you so much for your help

That makes perfect sense as to why Google would reject it. You would need to make your site live, and generate the site map using the real domain name, otherwise Google has nothing to index against. The address you provided is either a local proxy or the dev server running on port 8001 on your local machine, neither of which Google has access to, making the site map useless for them.

You could modify the site map manually with the real domain name, but you would need to make sure the site map matches what's on your site.

site map requires the sites app. Make sure:

1. 'django.contrib.sites' is in INSTALLED_APPS
2. Your site has the proper domain (look in /admin/ and fix it if needed)
3. In your settings.py make sure SITE_ID matches the site you
configured in /admin/
