SitemapXML v.2

[a_berezin]

That is because I have added it manually according to instructions of one of the earlier post here. But the file generated by "sitemapxml" does not have that </urlset> at the bottom.

I see total 4253 products on your site - birthdaysextreme.com/products_all.html and only 4216 in http://birthdaysextreme.com/sitemap/sitemapproducts.xml

Conclusion: map of products simply was not formed until the end. There can be several reasons: memory limit, execution time limit.

Go to Admin > Tools > Server/Version info and look for PHP Memory Limit. Post that value here.

To know how to fix need to know what the problem is. Check server error logs.

If the problem is in the limit on memory, try this.
- Increase the memory limit.
- Go to Admin -> Configuration -> Sitemap XML -> Check Dublicates set to false or mysql.

If the problem is in the execution time limit try to use cli interface for cron job.

Andrew's suggestion is the logical way to proceed.

However, I feel that your problem is not with Andrew's sitemapxml mod but appears to be a memory or max execution time problem. After all you have a fair number of files to deal with when executing sitemapxml - a number your server may not be configured to deal with.

You can shortcircuit the lot by creating a file named php.ini and upload this file to the root of your (virtual?) server.

That php.ini file should look like this:

max_execution_time = 30 
max_input_time = 60 
memory_limit = 128M

set permissions to read only for everyone

Effectively that file overrides the stated values of the native php.ini file (the one that comes with your php server install)

You can see the changes by checking Admin > Tools > Server/Version Info before and after uploading this file.

Alternatively (and that is the safer method) you can add this to your root .htaccess file:

php_value max_execution_time = 30 
php_value max_input_time = 60 
php_value memory_limit = 128M

Let us know how this pans out.

Thank you. setting it to: Go to Admin -> Configuration -> Sitemap XML -> Check Dublicates set to "false"

fixed the problem.

Thank you as well. setting it to: Go to Admin -> Configuration -> Sitemap XML -> Check Dublicates set to "false"

fixed the problem. Hopefully the server was configured for it.

I have not set up any cron job yet for this mod since I have no clue how to do so. any suggestion is greatly appreaciated.

Hello Andrew - I use your very good plugin on several sites - I have one site using your latest version (v 3.2.6 17.06.2012 16:13) and it is not submitting images for indexing. Is there a reason for this or a fix for this? - I have already re-installed the plugin but made no difference.

thank you,
Mike

Hi there
I've been trawling through the thread trying to find the answer, but have been unsuccessful. The plugin is set up and working fine I think, but I'm trying to set up the cron. Having tried various things along the lines of the tips in the plugin and looking at the suggestions made by my hosting company for setting up Scheduled Tasks as they term them, I raised a support ticket and quoted the suggestions made by the plugin as to the different commands that could be used. The response I got is as follows:

"The cron jobs you've listed are loop-back connections. Scripts cannot open a connection to the internet only for it to loop-back to the same server - scripts should be executed locally instead.

However, because of the parameters that need to be passed, there might not be an easy way to do this. The easiest method would be to set these cron jobs up on a different hosting package - a different webserver - as that wouldn't be subjected to the same loop-back limitation."

I'm afraid this goes straight over the top of my head. Can anyone help me to understand what they're saying to me? Wouldn't the suggested command lines from the plugin be at least along the right lines?

Thanks for any light anyone can shed.

Regards
RoPey
