Hello,

There was an error while retrieving the URL specified: (my website)

Hello,

Probably there is a configuration problem - it looks like your server doesn't allow local network connections via port 80 (http) or 443 (https) - 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?

Hello,

I have the same problem.

Previously, my site was on a site with Centos6 and PHP 5.4 and the script XML-Sitemaps worked correctly. I moved my site to the server with Centos7 and PHP 7.2 and this problem appeared.

The script starts working again if I enable the "Use CURL extension" option. But I do not like this solution to the problem. This spoils the statistics of visits. The script does not have a referrer and I cannot configure the rule in the statistics script.

Earlier you wrote that

your server doesn't allow local network connections via port 80 (http) or 443 (https)

I looked at the rules for IPTables. Is there a difference between these records?
Old server (XML-Sitemaps worked correctly)   ACCEPT     all  --  localhost.localdomain  anywhere
New server (XML-Sitemaps not worked correctly)   ACCEPT    all  --  localhost            anywhere

So far, I don't see a solution to this problem. It is a pity that in the settings of the script it is impossible to add a referrer or change the user agent, for example as bingbot.

Can you tell me what to do in this situation?
Thanks

Using curl setting is recommended in this case.
