[MSU Sitemaps] Too large, any ideas?

[dannyboy9]

Hi,

I sucesfully installed seo urls and then sitemaps.

I submitted to google and recieved a number of errors.

Basically the output contains more than 50,000 products and so needs to be split.

Can this be done.

Thanks,

What is the exact error message?

Sitemap file size error
Your Sitemap exceeds the maximum file size limit. Please create multiple Sitemaps containing fewer URLs to meet the file size limit. Help Found: Jul 27, 2008

Generated file exceed file size limit and therefore you see this error message.

Try to open sitemaps.php in the root and find:

Code: Select all

header('Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8');

replace with:

Code: Select all

if (@extension_loaded('zlib')) {
  ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
}
