Increasing Java Memory – Terminating Early

Hi

I am having termination problems also. I am trying to use the XML Sitemap gernerator on quite a large website. Its terminating about 160 URLS as it just gets to the end and gives up.

I would like to try upping the Memoery Settings discussed in these posts. But where do i find it please?

My PC is Win XP, 1gb RAM.

Any guidence would be greatly welcome.

PS. thanks ever so much for creating these very user frienld tools.

Thanks

Slic

What OS are you running and what was the exact parameter you used to increase the memory? Also, what verison of the sitemap generator are you currently using?

If you like, I have a new web master tool that builds XML sitemaps and will soon replace our current sitemap generator. I’ll PM you the link if you’re interested.

Jim.

    Hey Slick, welcome to the Forum!

    To increase the memory Java uses and the Webmaster Tool, simply navigate to the control panel and click on the Java Icon. Then, inside the Java Control Panel, click on the Java Tab, Java Applet Runtime Settings, View and then in the Java Runtime Parameters cell, enter ‘-Xmx256m’ for each product listed.

    You can take it a step further when building a sitemap (if you’re still having problems) and enter ‘-Xmx512m’ or down one to ‘-Xmx128m’

    With 250, your should be able to spider 100,000 pages without any problems.

    Let me know if that works for you! If you continue to have problems, send me your URL and I’ll take a look.

    Regards,

    Jim.

    Sounds like you are running it now, so I’ll not do anything and wait for your results.

    Let me know how it went. If it didn’t finish, let me know what your three memory settings are under the System tab inside the webmaster tool (Free, Total and Max).

    If it does not complete, do me a favor and try to browse your website right after it stops and let me know the results as well.

    Thanks Slick,

    Jim.
