</sitemapindex>
Is this what I should be seeing?? I was expecting to see a list of links for all the site pages.
In this setup viewing the file at manotechsolutions.com/sitemaps.php wont work obviously.

It is not important what extension is used (.php in this case), but what HTTP header is send on request - MSU Sitemaps is using Content-Type: "application/xml; charset=utf-8" HTTP header which equal to traditional XML file.
