I have a fairly large site with about 170,000 nodes and 1,500 taxonomy terms. I would really love to implement XML Sitemap to enhance my SEO, but unfortunately I have run into some bumps in the road.

I get the following errors on different browsers

Mozilla : XML Parse error
IE7 : Page cannot be displayed
IE6 : Blank Page
Opera : Junk Characters

This is consistent with zombiee08's post here

I have opened a new issue because it came to my attention that we were hijacking someone else's thread (and also I haven't been able to solve the problem yet.)

I have read through other posts and tried to re-create the xmlsitemap folder, as well as change the permissions, and remove the / from the tmp folder in /admin/settings/file-system, but no dice yet. I also tried module weight, but that didn't work either. I only get these errors when I push this module to my live site. On my dev server the sitemap loads fine. I have a feeling that the script is timing out because of the volume of nodes, so it is not outputting valid XML which in turn is causing the XML parsing errors. Just my theory. Anybody have any idea on whats going on here, or a possible fix?

I got this working finally. After checking my apache logs, I realized that there was a memory issue, so I went into my php.ini file and increased the memory_limit and max_execution_time, and now it works. :-)
