There was an error while retrieving the URL specified...

This message keeps popping up when I try to start the crawler. I set my IP to 127.0.0.1 and this error is still popping up. I've also tried leaving off the [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ] and the error is still there. I am sitting here connected to my server and it's working just fine, and I know the URL itself is up and running. Any other suggestions?
The full message reads:

Can you make this a private message? I'd rather not have the link posted for everyone to see, but I don't have permission to send you a direct message.
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
I did not set up a login yet so it will be whatever the default is.

Probably there is a configuration problem - it looks like your server doesn't allow local network connections via port 80 (http) - as a result sitemap generator is not able to crawl the site. This is usually related to firewall installed at the host - could you please contact your hosting support regarding this?

Our systems admin assures me this isn't the case. Is there anything else I can try? Right now it fluctuates between a "socket error" and "error while retrieving the URL specified". This is getting very frustrating and I'm worried I wasted my money and should just try different software.

Hello,
I just tried to change starting URL in your generator configuration to external website (google.com as an example), and crawler worked fine (limited it to 1 page for testing) - it means that the problem happens only when connecting to local site (same domain where generator is installed) and it's configured by an internal server firewall.

Hi I had the same issue, it was because I had a temporary redirect from the home page, check your temp or perm redirects, also I was missing the "www" on the url portion ... once I changed both it worked like a charm!
Cheers!
