    Hi, I am getting a 500 Server Error if I goto example.com/sitemap.xml.

    We have a a fast dedicated LAMP server and htaccess looks fine. So I’ve discounted any memory or config issues on the server. We are on a subfolder Multisite network. PHP 5.4. Forced SSL. Memory Limit 64M.

    Can you help narrow this down please? Thanks

    I’m still debugging, but so far I’ve learned in my Multisite network that these work…

    example.com/site2/sitemap.xml
    example.com/site3/sitemap.xml
    anotherdomain.com/sitemap.xml

    But the main site has 500 Server error…

    example.com/sitemap.xml

    Fixed it in wp-config.php

    define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );

    Hi sem101,

    Good to see you’ve fixed this already, awesome job!

    I assume you have many plugins and pages active on your main blog :).
    I recommend a lower value (96MB or 128MB) to prevent server memory swap overload when a bad script is present (a Sitemap generator can be considered a bad script, as it pulls out and rewrites whole posts database).

    I hope this helps :).

    Keep up the good work and have a wonderful day!
