Sitemap Generator Forum

I set this up yesterday, the few stats that appeared on the screen said it
would take 7 hours to complete, and that would be the last time I would see any
stats appear on the screen; the only thing I am seeing now where the stats should
be is a portion of my website with 404....not very useful to show me a picture
of my own website with 404 - what does that mean? the xml service shows you
stats at all times, even from page to page, you still see whats going on in the background.

So i wake up this morning thinking that I would see an email saying complete...
nope, not at all, what was I thinking, no interruption notice or anything, even
though I seem to be checking that box all the time. I am starting to feel like a
babysitter as I have re-started xml at least 20 or so times today, and I have no
idea what is going on because its not showing me anything, or telling me anything....
the process seems to stop a few minutes after I click re-start.

the only thing i can think of is xml is using too much resources, and the
server maybe automatically killing the process....

any ideas? 

Hello,

it looks like your server configuration doesn't allow to run the script long enough to create full sitemap. Please try to increase memory_limit and max_execution_time settings in php configuration at your host (php.ini file) or contact hosting support regarding this.

Think I have an idea about the last two, did not set permission to /data/
Have no clue about the the first two...

I got it setup on a VPS now....
I started by running two sitemaps....

sitemap1 > ran quite fast, took 2.5 hours to finish
sitemap2 > ran quite slow, even a day after the first sitemap has finished,
it still runs quite slow, and times out fairly often, still not finished....

I would like to see an email option added for sitemaps that time-out
or stop running for whatever reason. When the first sitemap finished, at that
time I expected the 2nd sitemap would be near done, but it stopped running
like 15min into the process, if I would have been notified of it stopping, then
I could have restarted it quickly rathering then find out 3 hours after the first
sitemap had completed its run, so some type of email notification of a sitemap
that did not complete its process would be great, or at least an option to enable/
disable email notify of failed process....

Thanks

Hello,

sitemap1/sitemap2: that is for the same website I assume?
Please let me know your generator URL/login in private message to check this.

no, sitemap1 = site1, sitemap2 = site2, etc...

I have a site that has 58k pages, and I just started sitemap, and I see no stats
at all running, its like all the fields are blank, and the cursor is spinning in
the upper/left hand corner of the screen, so I have no clue what it is doing....

but I can see my VPS stats....

CPU: 30%
CPU load: 2.25, 2.12, 2.08

Mem used: 794mb = 51.7% (that seems high)
Free Mem: 802mb / Total Mem: 1.5G

any of this useful...

btw, my sites are using cloudflare, is that a problem?

Ok, this sucks, something booted me out the sitemap page, not that i could
see anything anyway...I cant get back in as it will not load, so I assume the
sitemap is still running at the moment...any of this sound familer? I do not
expect it to run long as I have run it on a few 20k sites, and it timed out
more times then I change my underwear in a day, and I had the box checked
so that it would supposed to keep running even if I closed the browser....
but to be honest, I do not recall cpu/memory running this high....

Looks like it ran for a good couple hours this time before it timed out...
but yet again, it times out again...I going to leave it where it is and
calling it a night...will try to finish the run tomorrow unless you have
something new to add on why it keeps stopping its process....
thanks

It took all day, but after 4 more interruptions, the sitemap
for this site has been completed. Still do not really know
why the sitemap keeps getting interrupted in the first place....

I guess I spoke too soon. The sitemap seems to be having trouble on
completing the final stage of building the sitemap. The highest I got was
80% complete before it died of error, and it is taking forever....

2nd run, error occured at 97% complete....

This really blows....

Hello,

in this case it might help to run generator in command line if you have ssh access to your server.
