Sitemap Generator unable to generate/save options

  • I’m trying to use the XML Sitemap generator on my wordpress install at https://www.roulezmieux.fr. Unfortunately everytime I try to save options or generate the sitemap, I return to the main administration page.
    I tried the same config on a local dev host, and it worked. So I guess it is not a plugin incompatibility issue, but rather some other problem. The strange things is that I don’t see any debug outpout about memory or anything.
    Anybody has any ideas ?
    (I tried the solution mentioned here without success).

  • Try this:

    1. create an empty sitemap.xml file in the desired directory (normally site’s root dir):

    # touch /var/www/default/html/sitemap.xml
    – replace example’s directory with your path –

    2. Set up permissions so apache (or the webserver you use) can write to it:

    # chown apache:apache /var/www/default/html/sitemap.xml
    – replace apache with your webserver process user –
    # chmod 774 /var/www/default/html/sitemap.xml

    3. Test the XML Sitemap generator.

    Hope it works!

    I guess you were correct.
    Somehow write permissions to the root of your web directory are needed … Strange, but thanks for the help !

    Nice to hear it worked!

    Don’t forget to change the topic status to “Solved” ??
