Crawler not working - Sitemap Generator Forum

Hi

I have just finished the install and set up the config but when attempting a crawl the page redirects to the config page and no sitemap is produced. On launch via ssh, the following message is recieved:

<html>

<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-15" />
<link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="pages/style.css">
