The XML sitemap module's requirements are no different than a standard PHP installation.
Web server
- Your Drupal install should not contain a sitemap.xml file in the Drupal root directory as this will prevent the module from working.
- For larger sites, your server must be able to handle large write operations to your site's files and temporary directories during cron.
- You must have cron configured properly in order for the sitemaps to be generated.
PHP
- PHP XML extension. This extension is enabled by default in a standard PHP installation, except for some CentOS systems. This extension is required to run Drupal 7.
- PHP XML Writer extension. This extension is enabled by default in a standard PHP installation, except on some Gentoo systems.
