FAQ
Check Google Webmaster Tools.
The sitemap is stored as “sitemap-images.xml” in the root of your website.
This is most likely caused by the fact that you do not have write permission on the website webroot. Use chmod to set the necessary permissions. Do NOT set that to 0777, unless you know what you are doing.
