Sitemap XML: non well-formed - Interpretation error

Sounds like the array can be too big for your system. We may need to use a database table instead.

The patch has too much unrelated code to review.

Maybe some of the code is for problems specific to your site. The patch needs to be limited to replacing the array with a database table.

The patch needs to be cleaned up to be ready for review. If it's working for you, you can wait until I have time to do it.

Me too.

Got the error

XML Parsing Error: no element found

I have the same error. . . . .

XML Parsing Error: no element found

Any ideas???

Same error : XML Parsing error. I tried the patch but still the same error.

The issue seems to be the way XML is rendered. There are 2 junk characters that are present at the start of the XML. Due to this the browser throws an exception in parsing the XML. Since the starting XML tags should not have any thing before that.

I tried :
- changing the encoding but that does not solve the purpose.
- tried extracting the XML from the gzip using gzread and then displaying it. did not solve the purpose
- manually extracted the XML and pointed the code to open the XML instead of the gzip.
- read another small XML from the same path.
- without any encoding it gives complete XML data without the nodes. On viewing the source one can see the XML but if I select all using cntrl + A and paste somewhere it shows 2 junk characters.

The following is the error i got on different browsers
Mozilla :XML Parse error
IE7 :Page cannot be displayed
IE6 :Blank Page
Opera :Some junk Characters

Please also look into this issue, it might be the reason why parsing problem occurs

That happens to me when i'm not logged in.
When logged out, i exit and re-open the browser in order to meet the problem.

The solution in #18 did not work for me at all. The post in #17 is consistent with my problem. The weird thing is, I can see a sitemap on my development machine (localhost), but once I post this to the live server, I get the xml parsing error and blank pages etc. I have read through other posts and tried to re-create the xmlsitemap folder, as well as change the permissions, but no dice yet. Anybody have any idea on whats going on here, or a possible fix?

Hi all. The attached patch takes Juergen's patch above, and does the following:
1. Remove the site-specific stuff (mentioned in the above posts)
2. Changes the database alterations so they work with a new install as well as upgrade
3. Attempts to implement things for Postgres as well (but unfortunately I don't have a postgres setup to test with)
4. Makes the changes recommended by the Coder module, except one SQL thing that the Coder module was complaining about. The Coder module does automatic review of the code for conformance to the Drupal Coding Standards

Hope this is more applicable than the last patch. The patch is against the latest version of the DRUPAL-5 branch.

@Darren: is there anything else that you want to see in this patch before you apply it (other than testing)?

(Forgot to set status -- code needs review as per #22).

I'm not sure it's a good idea to have the SQL in a function. What happens when you have to update the table structure? Sure, you'll have to update the SQL used in xmlsitemap_install() - but you also don't want to change the SQL of xmlsitemap_update_1()!

Also, since you've made the query for pgsql as well, why are you only calling the function when dbtype is mysql/i?

The previous patch also didn't apply cleanly to latest DRUPAL-5 branch code. Re-rolled with corrections for .install mentioned above, as well as various style corrections (capitalisations and single quotes instead of double ones) and adding t() to some introduced Watchdog calls.

Oh, and for the record: I haven't actually tested the above.

Hm. I just spotted a curiosity: Why is _xmlsitemap_xml_links() in xmlsitemap.module making a return $links already on its second line now? Won't that effectively stop the rest of the code from running? If so, either the rest of the code should be removed (cruft) or the unintentional behaviour should be fixed.

I also noticed I missed uppercasing a "true" in _xmlsitemap_array_slice()...

Style (capitalisation) corrections and a break. Question about return $links from previous comment still stands unanswered.

Well, I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that question; that code was added by juergen. If I get time, I'll have a look at it.

Ok, I've had a look, and gotten rid of that function altogether, and things still seem to work. But it should still be reviewed :).

Fixed in CVS commit 116912. This approach requires modules that implement hook_xmlsitemap_links() to be updated, so the fix will only be applied to the 2.x branch.

Hi,

Make sure you run cron before you try accessing the sitemap.xml file for the first time.

That fixed this problem for me.

Hi,

I am getting below errors on different browsers when navigating to the sitemap file: http://chiprv.org/sitemap.xml. Please let me know what might be the problem. Thanks

@ansari.wajid: You posted the same comment in three different issues; please stop cross posting, and adding the comment to reports that have nothing to do with your issue.

As I already reported, that is not the output of XML sitemap. Are you sure you are not using Sitemap?

I am restoring the report metadata as they were before.

Thanks for your reply.

I am using xmlsitemap module to generate sitemap.xml file. I have 2 domains pointing to my site chipr.org and chiprv.dev.triocircle.com. I have enabled xmlsitemap module through chiprv.org. The sitemap is generated on chiprv.dev.triocircle.com/sitemap.xml, but giving error on chiprv.org/sitemap.xml. I unable to figure out what might be going wrong. Please help me resolve this issue.
