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.

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.....
