Hi,

I'm using the Site Map module on several different sites; it's pretty useful and I like it better than the similar "Sitemenu module". However, on one of the sites - the oldes and largest - the module causes problems.

Basically, the Site Map module does not generate a Sitemap, but causes White Screen Of Death. As far as I can see, the Drupal watchdog doesn't record any errors. The site runs on a dedicated serverver, the resource limit in php.ini is currently set to 65M. I'm not sure which other configuration parameters might apply (MySQL config, etc.)

I tried to narrow down the to-display-items (e.g. "Categories depth" from "all" to 1), but wasn't successfull at all; even with no subcategories to display, I get the WSOD; there seems to be a limit which the module in connection with the server configuration can't handle. Notably: The modules still works fine on the other smaller Drupal sites running on the same server.

I'm not sure if this is caused by the size of the taxonomy, or the number of nodes, or something else; I have one large vocabulary and several smaller ones (a few hundred terms); not even the smaller ones are working on this site.

Any ideas?

Thanks & greetings, -asb

Have you checked out the contents of your php log to see if the error shows up there? On a Linux server, it's probably in /var/log/php/errors.log.

Hi jhereg69,

> Have you checked out the contents of your php log to see if the error shows up there? On a Linux server, it's probably in /var/log/php/errors.log.

Yes, sure; on my server (Debian GNU/Linux), it's customised to /var/log/php.log, but nothing is logged there.

In php.ini, error handling and logging is set to the following values:

error_reporting  =  E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = Off
log_errors_max_len = 1024
ignore_repeated_source = Off
track_errors = Off
error_log = /var/log/php.log

I tried also to enable error logging in index.php:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE);

/**
* @file
*/
....
?>

This also did not output any error.

I managed to configure the Site Map module that it would not always die by diabling all vocabularies and just displaying the available books. At least the module still works, but just can't handle the site's size.

Happened to me as well on a site I am working on... Basically when trying to uninstall the module either by the default modules list or via Devel module's uninstall feature I get a blank screen.

Sitemap works fine.

I have loads of modules, especially ajax, cck, views, panels, taxonomy, actions and e-commerce related ones in this installation, so not sure if it is conflicting with any other module, or it is also occurring on fresh installations..

Very weird...

Also not getting errors in the logs section.

Hi pavlos,

in my case it's simply a matter of size - the taxononomy is too large, the Site Map module can't handle it.
