Google Unable to Access Robots.txt

[rhoadesjohn]

We haven't made any changes to the robots.txt file and suddenly Google claims they can no longer access the file.

The site has been up and active for well over a year now.  What are my next steps?

I have included a screenshot of the top half of the file.  See anything wrong?

I think you should allow general access before beginning to disallow various sections below:

Allow: /

Though semantically, I think your robots.txt is in order. But if Google says they cannot acces robots.txt it seems like they cannot physically access the file itself on yourdomain.com/robots.txt, not that they cannot crawl the page due to your robots.txt.

Thanks Phillip.  I think we're on the way to discovering the issue.

I certainly appreciate the feedback!

Would you mind sharing the solution - if not related to domain intricacies

Curious to know - only for knowledge purpose

Many thanks
