Google verification

Google utilities require verification. I selected the method of adding a specified google_generated_filename.html to my web root.
This worked just fine a week or so ago. Now google is telling me it is receiving a 404 not found error. The file is definitely there.
I have not change my .htaccess file, but it does contain this:
Code: Select all
RewriteRule (.*\.html?) index.php?url=/$1 [L,QSA]
Is that part of the problem, and if so, what should I do to correct it?

# END s9y
Not sure if it matters or not, but when s9y was originally configured, there was no rewriting. When I was messing around with the sitemap generator, I changed that to Use Apache mod_rewrite.
This is a shared server.

put the line on the beginning of the rewrite rules.
but better would be, if you use a meta-tag.

I actually used the html head nugget and went the meta tag route as suggest by kleinerChemiker, it's far easier than stuffing around with your .htaccess or server 404 rules.

before, or after, RewriteBase, or does it matter?

Why?

.htaccess is autogenerated by s9y. if it is rewritten, all your changes get lost.
after the rewrite base
