Hello,

Please wait. Sitemap generation in progress...
Links depth: 2
Current page: departement/information-dep_num-51-d-Marne.html
Pages added to sitemap: 235
Pages scanned: 240 (6,079.4 KB)
Pages left: 515 (+ 5754 queued for the next depth level)
Time passed: 3:37
Time left: 7:46
Memory usage: 2,832.3 Kb

but nothing happend.  Crawling seems stopped but  if I go to another item on the menu, then crawl again.
No sitemap are generated.

Thanks in advance

Alain

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.

Hello I see you mention changing the memory limit and max execution time but to how much?

[XML-Sitemaps Support]

Try to set it to "128M" and "9000" correspondingly.

ive had the same problem, but being a seasoned webmaster id already dabbled with these settings, still nothing.

if i install a webserver on my pc and install this script where i have more control, can i sitemap a remote url,like on your website?

Hello,

yes, you can create sitemap for your website remotely from your local PC.
