Crawling process stalls out
« on: August 22, 2013, 04:51:35 PM »
I've been trying to create a sitemap for the past week but the crawling process never fully gets completed (even if I opt to crawl in the background). I have tried to adjust the php.ini settings but have not seen any improvement. Any guidance will be much appreciated.


Already in progress. Current process state is displayed:

Links depth: 2
Current page: ftr-8519p-5a/
Pages added to sitemap: 895
Pages scanned: 1003 (78,045.7 KB)
Pages left: 1172 (+ 1433 queued for the next depth level)

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.

I am having this same issue.  I've increased the memory_limit and max_execution_time and no change.  It seems to fail once the Memory usage gets to around 3,000kb.  memory limit is set to 64mb.  I thought the issue may be the site file path as the hint shows up as C:\Inetpub\...\...\httpdocs\generator/ whereas the document root i believe is just /httpsdocs/sitemap.xml

i've tried multiple variants of the file path and no change in behavior

Here was the reply from HostGator:

"Thank you for contacting HostGator. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience. Unfortunately, we would be unable to modify the memory limit or time limit for a process to execute. We have these listed in a special support article in addition to all other directives which are unavailable for modification."

I suppose I should have checked compatibility with HostGator prior to purchasing this Sitemap software

Could he use ini_set in the script or increase php_value in .htaccess?
