Google SitemapAdmin

[hem]

I used to have less than 400 inventory items. Google Sitemap worked great. Then I used easypopulate to import over 57,000 parts, and now it won't work.

At Step 1 (STEP 1: Click [HERE] to create / update your site map), it opens up a new window, pauses on "Transferring data from MyStore.com". Then, after about 25 seconds, it times out, doesn't give me any error...nothing. It just reads:

Google Sitemap Generation (v 1.3.19 20.04.2008 17:24) started

Save path - "/home/MyStore/public_html/"
Base URL - "http://MyStore.com/"
File "robots.txt" not found in save path - "/home/MyStore/public_html/robots.txt"

Anybody else experience the same problem, when working with lots of products?

Thanks Andrew for the direction. I did create the robots.txt file and it is still hanging up. Now it reads:

Google Sitemap Generation (v 1.3.19 20.04.2008 17:24) started

Save path - "/home/elcom/public_html/"
Base URL - "http://www.elcomstore.com/"
Sitemap location specified in robots.txt "http://www.elcomstore.com/index.php?main_page=site_map User-Agent: * Disallow: /images/ Disallow: /index.php?main_page=login Disallow: /account.php Disallow: /advanced_search.php Disallow: /checkout_shipping.php Disallow: /create_account.php Disallow: /login.php Disallow: /password_forgotten.php Disallow: /popup_image.php Disallow: /shopping_cart.php Disallow: /product_reviews_write.php" another than "http://www.elcomstore.com/sitemapindex.xml"

It is timing out after 25 seconds. This module was working perfectly (even without the robot.txt file) when I had only 400 parts in my inventory. Now, with over 57,000 parts, it is crashing. Has anyone had luck using this with a similar inventory size? Should I try reinstalling the module?

It's not a problem with the robots.txt- It's a 2 megabyte prepend issue. I've got the workaround here somewhere. I'll have a look and post it here when I find it.

Unzip the attached file to the root of your store.

Andrew,
A huge THANKS for that zip file! It worked perfectly after that.

Update to above:

Each file below installed, but only sitemaptestimonials.xml is loading without error. Others report NO URLs even though for example product.xml reported over 1200 product URLs loaded into it.
