How to configure the generator to crawl secure https pages?
« on: October 23, 2009, 01:40:38 PM »
I have just downloaded the latest version of  Unlimited PHP Sitemap Generator but cannot work out how to tell it to crawl the secure pages on my e-commerce website.
I have looked all over the documentation and the forums but seem to have missed the instructions.
Should I simply add 's' to the 'http' prefix in my site's URL?
Or is it something else?

Thank you, Admin, for your quick reply.
I have tried that method, however the Sitemap Generator only crawls one single page and then gives me the following message -
Request date:
23 October 2009, 16:02
Processing time:
0:00:01s
Pages indexed:
1
Sitemap files:
1
Pages size:
0.00Mb

I must have configured something wrongly, but I cannot work out what it is.
BTW, OpenSSL *is* enabled on my server

Thanks for your reply, Oleg!
My apologies, I overlooked that fact that I'm using a *shared* SSL certificate.
The URL should be  [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
But this URL still gives me the same problem - only one page gets crawled:

Request date:
25 October 2009, 22:02
Processing time:
0:00:02s
Pages indexed:
1
Sitemap files:
1
Pages size:
0.02Mb

Hello,

it looks like all shop links from inner pages are pointing to your main domain anyway, so they are autoamtically excluded from sitemap (only pages from the same domain as Starting URL can be included in sitemap).

Entries from the error log do not seem to be related to sitemap generator.
