HTTPS: free generator works, Unlimited fails..., please help
« on: December 09, 2011, 04:27:32 PM »
Hello Everybody,
I downloaded the Unlimited Sitemap Generator version since I have a pretty big site to "map".

The site is kind-of splitted in two parts, a regular one on HTTP and a secured (no pwd on normal pages) one on HTTPS.

The crawling went well on the HTTP site, but cannot start on the HTTPS. I'm aware of the fact I need two different "installations/configs", that's how I did it but still no luck and no special error message, just:

Error message: Error opening socket to secure.domain.com
HTTP headers follow:

HTTP output:


Can somebody help me?


Thanks and regards,
nIc

Hello,

in order to allow sitemap generator to crawl https pages, PHP must be compiled with openSSL support. In your case openssl is not enabled:
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
(it's normally listed in "Configure Command " section)


Thank you Oleg, now it works. Didn't know php had to be compiled --with-openssl since my https php programs were working well. I guess this is for "curl" functions (or some crypt/decrypt), right?

Would be nice/usefull to have it somewhere in the docs under "requirements" (maybe I just missed it).


Thank you again and happy sitemaps to all,
nIc

I'm glad you got it working!

Yes, both curl and regular socket handling functions need openssl library to be able to work with https protocol.
