Sitemap Generator Hanging Problem

I am able to generate a sitemap but I am quite sure the script is running awfully slow and using up more memory than I think it should be:

Code:

[homepage] [984.8Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
[SECTION START] forumdisplay [986.1Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
[forumdisplay] forum_id: 23, total threads: 0, pages: 1 [987.1Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]

[forumdisplay] forum_id: 8, total threads: 2, pages: 1 [991.4Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
[forumdisplay] forum_id: 10, total threads: 6, pages: 1 [992.2Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]

[forumdisplay] forum_id: 14, total threads: 2, pages: 1 [993.8Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
[forumdisplay] forum_id: 12, total threads: 5, pages: 1 [994.6Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
[forumdisplay] forum_id: 27, total threads: 2, pages: 1 [995.4Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
[forumdisplay] forum_id: 17, total threads: 5, pages: 1 [996.2Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
[forumdisplay] forum_id: 18, total threads: 0, pages: 1 [997.0Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
[forumdisplay] forum_id: 22, total threads: 3, pages: 1 [997.8Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
[forumdisplay] forum_id: 19, total threads: 4, pages: 1 [998.5Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
[forumdisplay] forum_id: 25, total threads: 4, pages: 1 [999.3Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
[forumdisplay] forum_id: 28, total threads: 4, pages: 1 [1,000.2Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
[SECTION START] showthread [999.9Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
[SECTION START] tags [1,034.3Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
[create sitemap file] filename: sitemap_1.xml.gz, number of urls: 76 [992.5Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
[create sitemap index] filename: sitemap_index.xml.gz, number of sitemaps: 1 [994.2Kb mem used] [0s (+0s)]
Sitemap has been created. [994.9Kb mem used] [21s (+21s)]

The only option checked is showthread pages and tags and I cant see how 76 URLs being added to the sitemap would make it hang or seem very slow at all when another instance of vbseo sitemap generator is running much faster on another forum of ours.

I have reinstalled from scratch and made sure the data folder is chmod 777 too and there is no php or database errors showing whilst running it and also i have cleared out the sitemaps from the data folder too and checked the forum URL in the admincp.

Here is the htaccess:

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.whatever\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.whatever.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

Any ideas or is this simply normal behaviour?

I am also getting this in webmaster tools:

- URLs not followed
When we tested a sample of URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs redirect to other locations. We recommend that your Sitemap contain URLs that point to the final destination (the redirect target) instead of redirecting to another URL.

Thank you.

I have just noticed this within the sitemap output:

Code:

<url>
  <loc>http://www.xxx.com/a/15-can-you.html</loc>
  <priority>0.5136</priority>
  <lastmod>2010-03-02T21:22:21+00:00</lastmod>
  <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
</url>

I gather that is the main issue here?

Any help will be appreciated

what version of vb/vbseo are you using and what sitemap version?

Vbulletin 3.84 PL2 and vBSEO 3.5.0 RC2 and Sitemap Generator v2.5

I would recommend downgrading to 3.3.2 as it is the latest stable with vBulletin 3.8. This more than likely will solve your issue.

It certainly did, thank you.

Great, glad it is working now!
