I have not been able to determine where this directory/wrapper should be or why it isnt created during installation.

It is clogging my error log and causing cron to fail

Has anyone been able to sort this issue : The directory flickr://xmlsitemap does not exist or is not writable.

I was experimenting with media module for flicker . In the process I installed and configured media-7.x-1.3, emfield-7.x-1.0-alpha2 , flickrapi-7.x-1.4, flickrgallery-7.x-2.1, media_flickr-7.x-1.0-alpha3 .

Since then I have started getting this error : XMLSitemapGenerationException: Could not open file
flickr://xmlsitemap/NXhscRe0440PFpI5dSznEVgmauL25KojD7u4e9aZwOM/1.xml for
writing. in XMLSitemapWriter->openUri() (line 42 of
/home/xyz/xyz.com/sites/all/modules/xmlsitemap/xmlsitemap.xmlsitemap.inc).

I checked sitemap cache directory settings in xmlsitemap settings... which has been somehow changed possibly by media-flicker module to flickr://xmlsitemap and is shown in red box. with errors

Warning: is_dir(): Unable to find the wrapper "flickr" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? in file_prepare_directory() (line 444 of /var/www/xyz/includes/file.inc).

The directory flickr://xmlsitemap does not exist or is not writable.

Thanks

What Flickr modules are active? Field, block, filter, sets, tags?

Oh.., and please read http://drupal.org/node/45111 on priority levels. Re-opening is more appropriate.

Thanks.

All the flickr modules I mentioned were activated. I tired deactivating and un-installing these modules which didn't work either. Is there a way to change settings in xmlsitemap to point cache directory setting to my previous directory settings ?
Right now flickr:// is uneditable.
I have attached the xmlsitemap setting page image .

Thanks

The screenshot from #5 gives the best idea of the problem. It does seem more like a problem related to the code in http://drupal.org/project/xmlsitemap. Probably some compatibility issue with the Flickr module or Flickr Media module. Moving this from the Flickr module queue to theirs.

To the XML sitemap maintainers:
If it turns out only a change on some other module's code is required, please move it back to the Flickr queue, forward to the Media Flickr issue queue or some other culprit (FlickrGallery, Flickr API) with some technical motivation.

Thanks.

Also other issue fields seem to have unvoluntary changed during drupal.org D7 migration. Restoring to previous values.
