Did you read my message completely? ERROR: Google Pages Sitemap Generation FAILED! Some pre-tasks such as sitemapproducts.xml, sitemapcategories.xml, sitemapindex.xml completed successfully but the final one sitemappages.xml failed. Checking the final is completely empty as I told you setted for each of the siteXXX files permission to 777 so they are writable. Asnwering your questions: I opened all the sitemap files, eachone with a success result contains correct data from my db, the only one that fails is empty.

No one has ever mentioned a problem with the pages map and I've never ran across such a problem in the many installations of this contribution I have done so it seems something specific to your installation. If you are using a url rewriter, try turning that off to see if it works. Otherwise, this would require more troubleshooting than can be done here.

Boukesh Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hi Jack, First of all thanks for your contributions. Without you and many others here, I wouldn’t be able to build a shop. I build an osCommerce webshop (v.2.2 RC2a) and added: - Ultimate_SEO_URLSv22d_10 - Google XML Sitemap SEO v1.5 This site is in 8 languages and it doesn't have a sitemap yet. Just put it online last week. I tried to make a sitemap with the Google XML Sitemap module and the module worked immediately. However the xml-files that are created show the links in the sitemap in the default language only. I already tried to switch from “Standard” to “Alternate” in the admin. Also I switched off the “Ultimate_SEO_URLSv22d_10” module, but no difference. Should it be like that, just links in the default language? Or is there something wrong with my site? Today I saw something interesting, Google webmaster tools showed Crawl errors, like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.mysite.nl/some-catagory-in-Dutch-Language-c-37.html?language=pt 500 error Jun 25, 2011 http://www.mysite.nl/some-catagory-in-German-Language-c-52.html?language=ru 500 error Jun 25, 2011 http://www.mysite.nl/some-catagory-in-English-Language-c-45.html?language=it 500 error Jun 25, 2011 http://www.mysite.nl/some-catagory-in-Italian-Language-c-37.html?language=fr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ When Google crawled my site (without sitemaps installed) the languages got connected with pages in different languages, making all pages unreachable. This gives me the idea that something is wrong with the structure of my shop. As an alternative I plan to use the sitemaps that are created with the Google XML Sitemap SEO module and edit them manually so that all the pages in each language come with a working path and all pages get indexed. Like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="gss.xsl"?> <urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84"> <url> <loc>http://www.mysite.nl/product1-c-22.html?language=nl</loc> <lastmod>2011-06-06</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <priority>0.5</priority> </url> <url> <loc>http://www.mysite.nl/product1-c-22.html?language=en</loc> <lastmod>2011-06-06</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <priority>0.5</priority> </url> <url> <loc>http://www.mysite.nl/product1-c-22.html?language=de</loc> <lastmod>2011-06-06</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <priority>0.5</priority> </url> <url> <loc>http://www.mysite.nl/product1-c-22.html?language=fr</loc> <lastmod>2011-06-06</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <priority>0.5</priority> </url> <url> <loc>http://www.mysite.nl/product2-c-23.html?language=nl</loc> <lastmod>2011-06-06</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <priority>0.5</priority> </url> <url> <loc>http://www.mysite.nl/product2-c-23.html?language=en</loc> <lastmod>2011-06-06</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <priority>0.5</priority> </url> <url> <loc>http://www.mysite.nl/produc2-c-23.html?language=de</loc> <lastmod>2011-06-06</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <priority>0.5</priority> </url> <url> <loc>http://www.mysite.nl/product2-c-23.html?language=fr</loc> <lastmod>2011-06-06</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <priority>0.5</priority> </url> </urlset> I have some questions: 1) is there an easy fix, so that the Google XML Sitemap SEO module will save all paths in all languages? 2) when I add a correct sitemap, should I bother that without a sitemap it give these crawl errors and better should fix something in my site? 3) when I create a manually edited sitemap, is it ok to have all the languages together in for example the products-sitemap? Or should I create a products-sitemap for each language? Thanks in advance, Bouke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are instructions in this thread though on how to have it work for other languages, or at least one. No idea where it is though so you will have to search. 2) You code should a canonical meta tage to avoid such errors, asumming those are valid links. There is a contribution that just handles adding that tag but I recommend installing Header Tags SEO since it adds that tag and much more. 3) It doesn't matter unless the size of the file gets too large. It might be easier to copy the original sitemap file, rename it and then do a search and replace to insert the language code. Then add that new sitemap to your sitemaps in your google account.

Thanks a lot for answering my questions. I will make this sitemap like you told. Installing Header Tags SEO is next on my list. I tried to install it before, but it crashed when opening the admin page. Probably I should be more careful with replacing parts of the code. Some parts where already changed by other modules.

MartinLass Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Okay, I'm going to try this one after reading this entire thread and not seeing the answer to this question that many have posted here before... I've just installed sitemap_seo_v_1.5 in an osCommerce 2.1.3 installation. Everything seemed fine. Installed fine. Changed settings fine in the Admin panel. Ran the index.php file as instructed. Here is the output: Write /home/unbovekq/public_html/catalog/sitemapproducts.xml Generated Google Product Sitemap Successfully Write /home/unbovekq/public_html/catalog/sitemapcategories.xml Generated Google Category Sitemap Successfully Write /home/unbovekq/public_html/catalog/sitemapmanufacturers.xml Generated Google Manufacturers Sitemap Successfully ERROR: Google Pages Sitemap Generation FAILED! Write /home/unbovekq/public_html/catalog/sitemapindex.xml Generated Google Sitemap Index Successfully Note the Page Sitemap Generation FAILED. I have tried different CHMOD settings... 777, 755, 744, etc on the xml files, but nothing makes the Pages Sitemap generate without error. I've run it with diagnostics on, but there are NO error codes or comments related to the Pages Sitemap Generation FAILED comment. Just this single line again. I have tried the Alternate file setting in the Admin panel. This fails completely due to permission denials related to line 353 of sitemap.class_Alternate.php file. Surely there is an answer to this? Let me know what else you need to see from my configuration... much appreciated if any help can be given! Cheers, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 I have tried the Alternate file setting in the Admin panel. This fails completely due to permission denials related to line 353 of sitemap.class_Alternate.php file. Surely there is an answer to this? You have to try the alternate setting first. If that fails due to a permissions error, then you need to ask your host to look into it.
