This is normal, server timed out.

MySQL server has gone away
this is something you need to talk to your host about as only they can fix it

Why is it timing out? How do I explain to my server folks what I am doing and how to stop it from timing out.
What is the info from my admin panel of my site? Why does it stop after looking at only a little amount of my site?

Search Engines Pings:
Google : Successful
Bing : Successful
Yahoo : FAILED
Ask : FAILED

How to fix FAILED issue? Have any update about on this ?

You (or them) just need to set server time out. It's a setting in my.cnf, they would know. Tell them what you told here. It could need few adjustments, or you could start with longer time right away.

Go to admincp/Maintenance/View PHP Info/ scroll down to mysql and look for mysql.connect_timeout. What is your local and master directive set at?

Default showpost is disabled for sitemap. Should I leave it this way, or would it give me better seo if I turned it on, just it would take more server juice?

I'm guessing the answer is in this page.

What are the re-write rules for 4.2???

URGENT ticket submitted!

Lots of money spend on getting results in google, this is important!

I have recently upgraded my 3.8 to 4.2 suite. I had the old vbseo sitemaps 2.5 installed which I disabled before the upgrade. Can I just install this one over the top? is there any issues with 4.2?

if i want to run sitemap via cpanel Cron Jobs

what is the command !?

I have installed and am able to generate a site map but when i look at the reports I get this error message
[an error occurred while processing this directive]
what have I done wrong??

Thank you :)

not very impressed with the support so far it nonexistent :down::down:

If you look at the top it shows this mod is "Not Supported". Eventually someone may come by that can help you, but it will not be the developer.

...and you are going to need to explain your problem a little better than

Where does this show? ...immediately after selecting View Sitemap Reports? ...after logining in?

Can you view any sitemap pages like Report List, Download Log, etc.?

Leave it that way. Your posts will be indexe through the thread views anyway and turning it on would merely lead to duplicate listings, which will not do much to propel you up Google's rankings.

"If you look at the top it shows this mod is "Not Supported". Eventually someone may come by that can help you, but it will not be the developer."
Do beg your pardon for not seeing that small notice at the top of the page :erm:

well I thought that stating this would cover it "when i look at the reports I get this error message
[an error occurred while processing this directive] " but obviously I was wrong.

nice work bro.thanks a loot

I'm wondering if anyone could get it to work on vb4.2 pl3 without any issues???

still having some weird redirects with it....

any comment is appreciated...

works good with 4.2.0 PL3 did you add the line in your .htaccess file
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

after installing this mod, my site traffic ranking started falling and caused me to loss a lot of traffic and visitors count ...

uninstalled...

Thanks

Getting this message after I run the generator...
Also
What did I do wrong or fail to do?

I keep getting 404 when I try to access my Google Sitemap index. tried reloading everything and still having this issue.

I am also getting the same error at:

http://www.mydomain.com/forum/vbseo_sitemap/

It says:

Problem is now Solved.

I had remove both VBseo and XML sitemap and then re upload the files and reconfigured it.
It is now working... :D

Hadn't had an issue with this mod for over a year, until about a week ago.

Sitemap generations started giving Internal Server Errors (500) when generating a new sitemap. After trying a ton of different things to try and resolve it, I was finally able to get a sitemap to build without error by turning off "Auto-Notify Search Engines" in the settings. The time for creation of the sitemap after doing this went from an average of taking about 12-14 seconds over the last year down to taking less than 1 second (still getting all the links) with the auto-notify off.

This got me to thinking that when contacting the search engines it is waiting for some sort of response. The "500 Internal Server Error" error I have been getting over the last week with auto-notify turned was erroring out at about 1 min and 14 secs after starting the sitemap generation, which is exactly 1 minute longer than the standard creation time I had been seeing, so I believe the server is just timing out waiting for a response that it use to be getting before the last week or so.

Can someone report if they are having similar issues.

------------
Edit: Seems to definitely be related to just that one "Auto-Notify Search Engines" setting: Setting ON - get error, Setting OFF - works fine

I've noticed that if I run the Sitemap Generator manually from within vBSEO Sitemap Reports or it runs automatically from Scheduled Tasks - it does not pick up any forums without posts. But when running the cron job manually from Scheduled Tasks the empty forums will get picked up and added to the sitemap.

Anyone else experience/confirm this?

When I do this - my forum becomes inaccessible.. ?

Are you using mod rewrite in your forum?

Nope. No vBseo either

Although I moved the forum into a new directory when I upgraded it, and have 301 redirects in place for that.
