Why I do not see my sitemap after running for 3 hours!

[munblog]

Hi there,

I have about 3,000 pages.

I need to keep clicking "Run Now" every 15 minutes to generate the sitemap.

But, until now, my sitemap.XML still 0 kB in size. 

Please help!  If this is not working, I will need to ask for refund!

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.

What is the good figure to begin with?


post_max_size = 100M

max_execution_time = 36000

Once I change it, how should I make the php.ini take effect?

[XML-Sitemaps Support]

That should be enough, although you should change memory_limit instead of post_max_size.
 Depending on server setup it might be required to restart Apache for changes to take effect.

I don't see memory_limit in the php.ini file.

Isn't memory_limit = 20M

or

memory_limit = 20000

Is 20 MB a good figure to start? Please advise.

20M might be too low, try 64M or 128M.
