[ashishkhajuria]

Hello,

Any one here is facing like this - 5xx robots.txt unreachable. Well I have submitted my sitemap in webmasters tools but here google showing message robots.txt unreachable. When checked my robots.txt is ok and opening easily on browser. Any suggestions??

Google is getting a server error of some sort. Try checking your logs to see if you can determine exactly what the error is. Also try using a header checker such as Live HTTP Headers for Firefox, maybe in conjunction with a user agent switcher so you can call your robots.txt as googlebot to see what your server is returning to it.
