Hello John ,

Please edit vbseo_sitemap_functions.php file and search for

PHP Code:

     function vbseo_query_http($url)  

    {  

        return @implode('', file($url));  

    }

Replace with

PHP Code:

    function vbseo_query_http($url, $retcont = false)  

    {  

           ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 5);  

           $purl = parse_url($url);  

        $connsocket = @fsockopen($purl['host'], 80, $errno, $errstr, 5);  

           $start = 0;  

           $timeout = 50;  

           while($start < $timeout)  

           {  

            $start++;  

            if ($connsocket)  

            {  

             $start = 100;  

             $out = "GET ".$url." HTTP/1.0\n";  

             $out .= "Host: ".$purl['host']."\n";  

                $out .= "Referer: http://".$purl['host']."/\n";  

             $out .= "Connection: Close\n\n";  

              $inp = '';  

             @fwrite($connsocket, $out);  

             while (!feof($connsocket)) {  

                $inp .= @fread($connsocket, 4096);  

             }  

             @fclose($connsocket);  

            }  

 
        }  

 
        preg_match("#^(.*?)\r?\n\r?\n(.*)$#s",$inp,$hm);  

        $headersstr = $hm[1] ? $hm[1] : $inp;  

        $headers = split("\r?\n", $headersstr);  

         list($proto, $code) = sscanf($headers[0], '%s %s');  

 
        return $hm[2] ; 

    }

I've had same problem until I did the edit, and it works for the first three, but Moreover still shows FAILED. Should I be concerned about that? Is there any way for me to check what caused it to fail and correct that?

What do you see when submitting sitemap manually with:
http://api.moreover.com/ping?u=http:...p_index.xml.gz ?

I tried manually using Firefox here on my PC, and it appears fine:

Thank you for your ping. The moreover database will be updated with the new data from your url - http://www.touchtoolset.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz as soon as possible.

I tried manually using wget from the server, and it also appears fine with the same message. However, just requested vbseo_sitemap to regenerate the sitemap, and it says failed (for just that one) again.

Looks like it's pinged correctly, but just displayed incorrectly in reports. If you can provide us wtih ftp access via support ticket, we'll check that.

**Alfarin** · 04-05-2008 07:59 AM

Ticket filed; I'm gonna go sleep now (5am), if you need any more information, please feel free to let me know in ticket and I'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks!

**Oleg Ignatiuk** · 04-05-2008 09:28 AM

update: the issue resolved via support ticket (http connection function code updated).

Please try to modify vbseo_sitemap_functions.php file.
FIND:

PHP Code:

 $out = "GET ".$url." HTTP/1.0\n";

REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:

 $out = "GET ".$purl['path']."?".$purl['query']." HTTP/1.1\n";

**MissKalunji** · 05-06-2008 09:45 AM
