Version 2.8 Fatal error memory (memory size ... exhausted )

[paypal107]

Dears,

I just installed the version 2.8.

I configured it that it shpuld do a break every 100 crawls for 2s.

Medium sized site.

After ~30 minutes I got the following error.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4075511 bytes) in /home/jack/public_html/smg/pages/class.utils.inc.php(2) : eval()'d code on line 6

(Installed in smg under root).

(BTW: not sure what consequence it has for my ranking if google doesn't find the sitemap anymore?)

Thanks a lot for your help, appreciated!
Jack

Hello,

you should increase memory_limit setting in PHP configuration (php.ini file on your server) to resovle the issue.
There is no penalty applied by search engines in this case.

Dear Admin,
Thank you for your fast reply.

Any suggestion to what memory_limit for xml-sitemaps should be set?
Is it a try and error thing?

Are there are any negative site effects for other programs? (A ton of CMS systems are on that server too)

Thanks
jack

It depends on many things so exact memory_limit requirement can be found via trial-and-error method. You can also execute sitemap generator in command line (if you have SSH access) - in most cases there should be no memory limit problem.
