I started using PHPsitemapNG, and it’s taking a while to crawl my site but it’s working just fine, and it’s very practical for the ease of installation & configuration. but I would like to be able to run it as a cron job, I didn’t go through the code to see if that’s feasible, so I hope to give me some pin points on that.

PHPsitemapNG is a winner,

best regards

thanks!!

Thanks for the info.

With a different PHP script (one for tracking spiders), I got into a lot of trouble with my own webhosts. The scripts were crippling the server (we have SSH access so I could see what was going on) – I didn’t know they were ours.

One should be very, very careful what one uploads onto one’s site. In most cases, one is travelling in shared hosting in the end. As when one is in public transport, one should take care to bathe and dress in clean clothes for the comfort of the other passengers.

Thanks for stopping by. Good to know for the exclude directories issue.

Drop by again when the performance issues are also under control. Then you will have a real winner.

Best of luck with phpSitemapNG – a wonderful contribution to the web.

I’m the author of phpSitemapNG, got your website because of the referers of your visitors.

Just a note to the wildcard problem: you can just put the filename and/or directory that should be excluded in the list – without any wildcard.
E.g. if you would like to exclude all urls in the directory http://domain.com/admin/, you would add admin/ to the “exclude directories” list. Similar to the filename and the keys of an url.

If you have more questions regarding this (or phpSitemapNG in common), just ask me and I’ll try my best to answer your questions.

Best regards,
Tobias
