 * 1. WordPress and plugin Versions: 3.9.1 and 4.0.7
    2. Blog URL Address: [http://yahwade.azurewebsites.net](http://yahwade.azurewebsites.net/)
   3. I don’t know the software of my webserver. It’s not Apache and there are IIS
   files there in the WWWROOT. 4. Additional plugin: Aksimet.
 * **Scenario:**
    1. I install the plug-in 2. then click setting
 * **the results were:**
    1.[http://yahwade.azurewebsites.net/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=google-sitemap-generator/sitemap.php](http://yahwade.azurewebsites.net/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=google-sitemap-generator/sitemap.php)
   page was opened. 2. “The page cannot be displayed because an internal server 
   error has occurred.” was displayed. 3. click on General>XML-Sitemap give the 
   same error message.
 * Please your help activating the setting page in order to use the plug-in and 
   create a Sitemap file.
 * thanks
 * Hiddai

 * Yes.
    1. I clear the logs. 2. navigate to: “[http://yahwade.azurewebsites.net/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=google-sitemap-generator/sitemap.php&#8221](http://yahwade.azurewebsites.net/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=google-sitemap-generator/sitemap.php&#8221);
   and get the ‘internal server error’ 3. opened the log file in my server and saw
   the following message: “The specified resource does not exist. RequestId:d1e65075-
   99f3-4586-9184-9303c15907f1 Time:2014-06-28T19:41:30.5067455Z” 4. To mention 
   that i have the file: sitemap.php. Is this a permission problem?
 * If this message doesn’t help, please guide me – what do you need exactly.

 * Same exact thing for me on Azure. Just clicking settings, gives me the exact 
   error. Guess, this plugin just does not work on Azure websites. Just like some
   other plugins. I don’t think it likes MSSQL server. There is no solution that
   I can find for plugins not working for MSSQL databases.

 * I will see if I can get in running on Azure. What exactly are you running there?
   I’m not too familiar with it. Just a normal VM with IIS installed?

 * Hi!
 * My site in Azure is a free site connect to MSSQL DB.
    You can register and create
   up to 10 free sites. Click [here](http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-php-web-site-gallery/)
   and take a look how you can build a WordPress site in Azure Platform.

 * from WZhaoMicrosoft (MSFT) Azure Web Site forum in MSDN:
 * Hi Guys,
 * This looks like a plugin compatibility issue. Please comment out line 127 in 
   wp-includes\SimplePie\Item.php.
 *     ```
       /* Remove items that link back to this before destroying this object       */
   
                       public function __destruct()
   
                       {
   
                                       if ((version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.3', '<') || !gc_enabled()) && !ini_get('zend.ze1_compatibility_mode'))
   
                                       {
   
                                                       unset($this->feed);
   
                                       }
   
                       }
       ```
   
 * It works for me after I commented out the red line of code.
 * One more info:
 * I was able to reproduce this problem on my local machine. So, this is not an 
   issue specific to Azure Websites.
 * The problem is reproducible as long as zend.enable_gc is set to off.
 * So, you have another workaround which is set zend.enable_gc to on by putting 
   a php.ini under your site’s root folder.
 * Regards,
 * Wei
