Manually running the schedule task generates a 500 error

I am entirely sure that this is an issue

I have just migrated from one server (CentOS) to another (Dedicated Windows Web Server 2008) and I am currently in the throws of testing everything.

As part of the test I have manually run the "vBSEO Sitemap Generator" vbulletin scheduled task (normally runs at 2am), unfortunately this resulted in a 500 error.

However, I have also run "ACP->vbSEO->vBSEO Sitemap Reports->Run Sitemap Generator" and this seems to have worked without any problems.

Does anybody know if this is an issue, and if so what the resolution might be?

EDIT: This is with sitemap v2.2, I haven't got around to upgrading to 2.5 yet, I have lost enough hair with the server move

Hello,

you should run sitemap generator via vbseo_sitemap/ interface, not in scheduled tasks manager.
Also, if you get Error 500 message, you might need to increase max_execution_time setting in php configuration.

This was juts a one off while I was making sure everything was working after the server move.

That worked, went from 30 to 120 and the scheduled task now fires correctly.

Once again, many thanks for your help.

You are welcome!

The difference is that when you run it via scheduled tasks manager, it's running with admin privileges and includes private subforums in sitemap.
