State-Messages not showing while crawling and server is flushing

[schipper]

Hi,

I have the problem that the update messages in the browser window (not in the background) do not appear while crawling. I did read topic 18835, and did the flushing-test  (serves flushing succeeded). I tried IE and Firefox, I updated to 5.0, but still the messages don't appear.

Could there be another reason?

Thanks

Sorry, by topic 18835 I meant this one: https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/forum/index.php/topic,5636.msg18835.html#msg18835 and here

Hi Oleg,

Thanks, yes debug output is enabeled, but where could I find it's log?  Screen just shows 'Please wait. Sitemap generation in progress...' and I don't find a file anywhere.

Thanks

Debug output is sent to browser, sometimes it might help to avoid buffering on server side.

Hi Oleg,

Yes I read that and did the test:

started: 2011.11.10 09:36:00
finished: 2011.11.10 09:36:00
Note: if flush() works in PHP, then the difference between start and end dates should be approx. 0-1 second. If flush() fails (PHP output is buffered), then the difference will be >= 5 seconds.

Flush succeeded! :-)

So this should exclude the buffering issue?

Well, if there is no output visible then the content is buffered on server side anyway. There might be other buffering going on.

Hi Oleg,

OK thanks. I'll ask my hoster and will come back on the issue

Thanks

Hi Oleg,

Indeed the PHP configuration was 'output_buffering 4096'. Seems helping the performance.

Choosing for running in the background do show an update each 120 sec in the browser. Probably because this whole message at once is bigger than that 4096?
