HTML sitemap is okay but XML & ROR are empty
« on: November 20, 2009, 08:59:33 PM »
I've just purchased Standalone Sitemap Generator v. 3.0, and installed it on a site with more than 500 files.  Installation, configuring and crawling all went smoothly.  (It's a Windows 2000 server, but the host turned on PHP and it seems to work fine.)

The HTML sitemap has 693 files.  It's fine. So is the text file.   But the XML and ROR sitemaps are all empty.  The file is there, but it shows nothing, and when I look at the source code, they are indeed totally empty.

What's the fix?

Thank you.

Hello,

make sure that you allowed write access to sitemap.xml and ror.xml files either in hosting control panel or via remote desktop (allow write access for IUSR_ usergroup)

That wasn't the problem.  ror.xml and sitemap.xml have read/write access, but still they are created empty.

Make sure tyou allowed write access for IUSR_ group (in case of windows server) for that file.
