Sitemap Generator Forum

Hello,

I had to "Minimize script memory usage, " and enable "use temporary files to store crawling progress" in order to avoid "allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted."

The stand-alone xml-sitemap generator has completed OK, or so it seems.

However, the PHP/httpd log shows these messages:

PHP Warning:  fopen(.../generator/data/sitemap.html) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in .../generator/pages/class.html-creator.inc.php(2) : eval()'d code on line 188
PHP Warning:  fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in .../generator/pages/class.html-creator.inc.php(2) : eval()'d code on line 189
PHP Warning:  fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in .../generator/pages/class.html-creator.inc.php(2) : eval()'d code on line 190
PHP Warning:  fopen(.../generator/data/sitemap2.html) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in .../generator/pages/class.html-creator.inc.php(2) : eval()'d code on line 188
. . .

This is the "ls -al" output for .../generator/data/sitemap.html

I'm looking forward for your assistance.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

looks like sitemap.html file has a different "file owner userid", so you would need to set 0666 permissions for that file.

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

Unfortunately, it's not just one "sitemap.html" file. The xml-sitemap created thousands of files and folders with owner uuuuuuuu and permissions 644 under the "data" and "data/progress" folders. There's a corresponding fopen, fwrite and fclose error message for every one of these thousands of files.

Xml-sitemap didn't have problem creating these files, why didn't xml-sitemap create these files with correct permission in the first place?  

It there an automatic way to handle this issue?

Thank you,
Alex.

Hello,

that might happen if you run generator both in browser and in command line (or cron). You can remove all files from data/ folder, leave just sitemap files there.

Hello Oleg,

It makes sense. The XML-sitemap cron job has failed due to exceeding the memory limit.

Then, I'd enabled "use temporary files to store crawling progress" and resubmitted XML-sitemap manually via internet browser.

I've removed all files from data/ folder,  and left just sitemap files there -- as you've instructed. Will wait for the next cron job to run.

Thank you for your assistance!
