Sitemap Generator Forum

Hi

I tried running our standalone version yesterday – it started crawling but did not complete – 500 Internal server error part way through

So I have downloaded the latest version and updated etc.

Now it won’t run at all – 500 Internal server error straight away

I have checked directory permissions and they look OK

What should I try to remedy this?

Hello,

what are the permissions set?

I set the permissions as per installation instructions but they seem to have reverted - I will contact the host to see what can be done

Ok have checked with the hosting co and changed the permissions

777 gives me 500 error
755 gives me 504 gateway timeout after crawl starts

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.
 
Please also note that sitemap generator can be used for own personal sites only , i.e. it cannot be used to create sitemaps for 3rd party sites or provided as a service (paid or free): https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/license.html (separate licenses need to be purchased for that)

I have increased execution time to 300 and memory to 5000 (which are pretty high). Same 504 error. 

I am running this on our own site (not a 3rd party one)

Regards

Ron

Hello,  in this case I would recommend to run generator in command line if you have ssh access to your server.

I think I have access. What is the exact command syntax to use please?
Thanks

The command line is displayed on Crawling page of sitemap generator.

I ran the cron command /usr/bin/php /home/destnz/public_html/generator/runcrawl.php

and received this error report:

Hello,

sitemap generator doesn't use allow_call_time_pass_reference setting, it's probably specified in your php configuration, please check that with your host.
