Solution for Rank Math sitemap file index_sitemap.xml 404 error.

Rank Mathis the SEO plugin currently used by Naiba. It comes with a built-in sitemap feature. Today, while configuring it for a client, I found that accessing index_sitemap.xml resulted in a 404 error. Here is a record of the solution.This issue is usually caused by incorrect pseudo-static configuration. You just need to add the following rules to the virtual host configuration file. The Nginx configuration is as follows:
# START Nginx Rewrites for Rank Math Sitemaps
rewrite ^/sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 last;
rewrite ^/([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 last;
rewrite ^/([a-z]+)?-sitemap\.xsl$ /index.php?xsl=$1 last;
# END Nginx Rewrites for Rank Math Sitemaps
The Apache configuration is as follows:
# START of Rank Math Sitemap Rewrite Rules
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)?-?sitemap.xsl$ /index.php?xsl=$1 [L]
# END of Rank Math Sitemap Rewrite Rules
