Magento google sitemap and cron

Question

I am having trouble automatically creating a Google Sitemap. Here is what I did to enable it:

• Swipe the hourly cron that starts (cron.sh that works) cron.php

• Install System-> Configuration-> Google Sitemap-> Generation Settings-> Enabled to Yes

• Created by Google Sitemap in Directory-> Google Map

When I manually create a sitemap, it works great. Cron also works without errors. Am I missing a step?

Answer 1

Cronjob setup

• Add cronjob to Linux server. Either through SSH or through directadmin. I let it work every 30 minutes.

* / 30 * * * * / home / shirts01 / public_html / cron.sh

• Go to the root of magento, where cron.sh is found. Through SSH Execution

chmod + x cron.sh

• Go to application / code / kernel / mage /. Here you can find automatic sections. Read this article and below, you can find how and what you can plan. Keep in mind that all of these elements are located in the het / etc folder in the config.xml file in a section such as app / code / core / Mage / CatalogRule / etc / config.xml: (here it is CatalogRule)

  http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/1_-_installation_and_configuration/how_to_setup_a_cron_job

<crontab> <jobs> <catalogrule_apply_all> <schedule><cron_expr>0 1 * * *</cron_expr></schedule> <run><model>catalogrule/observer::dailyCatalogUpdate</model></run> </catalogrule_apply_all> </jobs> </crontab> 

• Go to the rigth file and find the words CRON. Basically you will find that the elements are already defined. Here you can change your wishes.

• For the Sitemap, do the same as above. But also look for the word ENABLE in the config.xml file. This should be set to 1 (and defaults to 0)

  <generate> <enabled>1</enabled> <error_email><![CDATA[]]></error_email> <error_email_template>sitemap_generate_error_email_template</error_email_template> <error_email_identity>general</error_email_identity> </generate> 

Hope this helps
