Sitemap generate not completed with Scheduled Tasks, but completed with manual run

Hi guys,

suddenly since few days ago (nothing changed anything about these days), the Sitemap generate Scheduled Tasks are not running completed, and not getting sitemap email notification.

I check ftp vbseo_sitemap/data folder its stopped about in the middle, there are all about 40 xml.gz files, but its stopped in the number sitemap_20.xml.gz , and its have different size, its have size 800kb, not like the other normal xml.gz files that only about 100Kb


but i still can manually running from /vbseo_sitemap folder, its completed with perfect


what can causing it guys? or what i need to check now?
why cannot running well automatically from Scheduled Tasks again suddenly, but running well manually
i already tried uninstall the product, and install again, but still not solved, still same like that

20 sitemaps is a LOT unless you have a billion post forum. You should consider removing some areas from your stemap, as it is liekly timing out when running.

vBSEO Sitemap Generator : Quality vs Quantity - vBulletin SEO Forums

hmm so you think its timeout?

its completed with manual generate, but not with Scheduled Tasks

The task may run under a different user to the computer (ie, no browser interaction) and at different times when other things may be running (ie, db backups locking tables).

40 files is just absurd, really.

i have 1.6 million posts and generate 7 sitemap files at 20k urls each.

i use 5k urls each, and no problem for few months, it is running very good

if there is suggestion what i need to check or change, maybe in whm or in the ftp, please let me know guys

You should check your error_log file to see what happens when it runs via the task.

ok problem solved, after trying Mert Gökçeimam suggestion :

so i change from vbulletin cron to cpanel cron, and its works completed automatically again now

here is the command i use in cpanel cron :
php /home/username/public_html/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_sitemap.php




if anyone have analyze or guessing what causing the vbulletin cron work not completed, or other suggestion please share your information too

i use xcache, fcgi
