Hello,

it looks like defining your server's IP address in configuration has helped:

I have the same problem but as I type my website/sever ip or nothing I get the same error . And as the ip 127.0.0.1 is I get a sitemap with one page.

What did i do wrong? I hope that some one can help me.

I can't find 'xs_curl' => 1, but I see 'xs_usecurl' => '0'. I change 0 to 1 without any result. Did you have a other suggestion maybe?

Probably there is a configuration problem - it looks like your server doesn't allow local network connections via port 80 (http) - as a result sitemap generator is not able to crawl the site. This is usually related to firewall installed at the host - could you please contact your hosting support regarding this?
Also, in some cases this can be fixed with DNS Doctoring operation on the server.
