Browser times out before crawl starts

[bstuff]

Hi,

I have just installed the standalone generator and attempting to crawl the site for the first time.

When I click run I get "Please wait. Sitemap generation in progress..." but the box below remains blank. Then after a few minutes I get an error message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"

Any help appreciated.

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.

max_execution_time = 30
memory_limit = 8M

What numbers do you suggest I try?

Do I need to restart apache or anything to make the changes take effect?

Will this change affect server performance noticeably?

thanks for the help.

I tried execution time =45 and then =60

I tried memory_limit = 12M and then 16M

then I tried setting them both to 60 and 16M at the same time


No luck.

How high should I go with trying?


*EDIT: I've tried it up to 180 seconds and 128M now and that doesn't work either.

I did stop and start apache after each change.

Ok it's set back at 120 seconds and 128mb if you would like to have another look.


I just ran it from the command line and the crawl completed.... but it still does not work through the browser interface.
