To fix it, I followed the instructions here:
plugin help
I created two blank text files, named them sitemap.xml
and sitemap.xml.gz
, put them in my root folder, chmod/changed permissions to make them writable — then I went back into the Plugin page and clicked the link to manually re-generate the sitemap — worked fine, stopped the infinite looping.
You should be able to do that and not have your host want to have a cow 🙂
Thanks. That worked. cmoded them to 644 and it works great.
I have this plugin installed on two blogs. Both hosted under the same shared hosting account. That fix fixed the problem on one blog but I still have the same error on another blog. I have even tried deactivating the plugin on the blog in question, deleting the files, reuploading them, and then activating the plugin again.
Same problem.
Hi DeanK,
Kindly take a look on this screenshot, please check whether i upload it to correct location

however i already changed the mentioned 2 file to 777. it still give me the same error although i rebuild.
any help will appreciate
Thank you
That is not correct. I noticed that you have a subdirectory of blog. The way I read it was to upload it to your blog root directory. Therefore, those two files should be moved to the blog directory.
Also, in regards to my issue of still having that error message on one of my blogs, I have found a fix. The answer is in this post:

Basically, on line 2438 replace this:
return mktime($hour, $min, $sec, $month, $day, $year);
with this:
return mktime(doubleval( $hour), $min, $sec, $month, $day, doubleval($year));
HI krackerjaxz,
Thank you, it worked now.
Hi,
I have installed google sitemaps plugin and am wondering about its interaction with my online shop. My wordpress blog is in a subdirectory /blog on my server, My Shop (prestashop) is in the root.
Will my current sitemap add my blog automatically or should i use another sitemap (plug in) for inside my /blog directory? Are their any advantages or disadvantages to this and does your plugin affect my shop at all?
Also, the same issue applies to google analytics. Will Analytics/webmasters for my shop pick up my blog as well or should i set up a new analytics for my /blog? Are there any special procedures for this and will it help/hinder my SEO in google? (i.e seeing duplicate content or link farming, etc..)
Thanks.
David
