Sitemap Generator Forum

Hello, I just purchased your sitemap script and installed everything following your instruction.

When I try to run the script for the first time, I receive an error:

Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

Error message:
Premature end of script headers: index.php

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 500

I searched your forum and found a related error, you said contact the host. What exactly should I say and/or request?

Hello,

do you receive this error on the main script page or when crawling is started?

I go to the 'crawling' tab and hit the 'crawl' button. I am then displayed this message: "Please wait. Sitemap generation in progress..." After some moments of time, I get this error:

Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

Error message:
Premature end of script headers: index.php

Hello,

it means that server times out. You should increase max_execution_time setting in your php configuration (php.ini file on your host).

Is there a good 'max execution time' I should set it to? Any information I can hand my host would be helpful!

Hello,

it depends on how many URLs you have on your site and average page load time (you should multiply those two values).

Well, I increased my max_execution_time to 30000 and max_input_time to 60000. I am still receiving the 500 server error. What should I do now?

Hello,

please try to execute sitemap generator in shell via command line.

I just activated SSH access. Now what do I do?

Hello,

you should execute it like:
/usr/local/bin/php /path/to/your/generator/runcrawl.php
