I don’t know if it’s a bug or if I misconfigured the sitemap, but I keep getting an error and I can’t fix it.

When I submit my sitemap ([https://join-nexus.ovh/sitemap.xml](https://join-nexus.ovh/sitemap.xml))

I get an error, screenshot below, Google cannot retrieve the sitemap and says the type is unknown.

I tested:

lots of curl commands which all return 200 - Google can access the sitemap  
a sitemap validator that checks if my sitemap is valid, which it is [https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html](https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html)  
removing and re-adding my Sitemap changes nothing  
using alternative sitemaps ([https://join-nexus.ovh/sitemap\_1.xml](https://join-nexus.ovh/sitemap_1.xml), [https://join-nexus.ovh/sitemap\_recent.xml](https://join-nexus.ovh/sitemap_recent.xml)) but that doesn’t work either, same error

I don’t know how to solve this problem, especially since the sitemap is a super important feature.

I can still index the links individually by hand and Google indexes them, I really don’t understand.

Thanks in advance for your help.

If you click into the sitemap info, does that provide any more details about the error?

Hello everyone, Update, I found a way to add the sitemap but it require to really think outside the box

I had to create an external sitemap on this website

> **[PRO Sitemaps - Powerful and easy way to create, host and automatically...](https://pro-sitemaps.com)**
>
> PRO Sitemaps. Automatically create, host and keep up to date XML sitemaps - a hassle-free professional sitemap service provided by PRO-Sitemaps.com

Once this sitemap was indexed by google on its own domain on the search console

I got this message on my own domain on the search console

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/7/9/3/7932366c286910020161afaa440f9ac0795f2b40.png)

So google started indexing the pages

My sitemaps still don’t work from my own domain but it may be because of my .ovh domain name

I hope this helps
