Memory problem with oscommerce.

[simondj]

Hi,

I've installed and configured the software and it appears to run quite nicely but......I can't generate a sitemap with more than about 2000 urls due to the amount of memory that php script needs to create the site. I have increased php.ini to 100Mb (which is v.high according to the tech people at RackSpace - from a safer 16Mb)....but still 2000 url's appears to be the limit.

I have switched off all other activity in the config file so that the software is generating just a single xml sitemap and not wasting resource on other activity but I can't get any further?

Has anyone else encountered similar problems? Any ideas how this can be overcome without increasing the memory requirements further?

Best Regs, Simon.

Hello,

please try to enter the following into "Do not parse" option:

Code:

js=
sort=
action=
write_review
product_reviews
reviews_write
printable=
manufacturers_id=
sort/
action/
js/
printable/
language/
redirect.php

and the following into "Exclude URLs" option:

Code:

redirect.php
js=
sort=
action=
write_review
reviews_write
printable=
manufacturers_id=

Hi,

I looked into this a little further - I check the server and it turned out the php script memory had not increased to 100M but was in fact still at 16M - To allow the software to run I have now set the server globally @ 32M and set the site map generator folder (only) to 100M - I have just managed to successfully create a 12,500 url sitemap without a problem and later I will attempt to let the software generate an unrestricted sitemap...(I expect around 30,000+ pages)

I'll report back on progress.....but so far so good!

Ok, great!

Software ran last night and generated a full xml sitemap with just over 33,000 urls. I've pinged google to see what they make of it but it looks to be in good shape. Thanks.....
