I installed the software on a windows IIS system.

All what happend is to generate this file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset  xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<!--
  <gen:info>
    <gen:name>Google Sitemap Generator</gen:name>
    <gen:version>1.0.0.0</gen:version>
    <gen:date>2009-06-15T15:07:46Z</gen:date>
  </gen:info>
-->
</urlset>

No sitemap at all, whats wrong?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Forge an url with a cross side code inclusion to the website under
control of sitemap generator
2. Look your sitemap later
3. Url is included...

It seems any url requested by a customer or a robot can be indexed by
sitemaps since the url dont give a 404. It's very dangerous for site where
url rewriting rules can accept permissive rules, or for site who accept
additionnal parameters on the urls.

OS: Linux RHEL5.3
Sitemap Generator version : sitemap_linux-i386-beta1.tar.gz
Apache 2.2

One virtual host has a web application with:

www.domain.com (english), www.domain.fr (french) and www.domain.de(de)
(Alias)

Sitemap for www.domain.com

www.domain.com/
www.domain.com/search

Sitemap for www.domain.fr

www.domain.fr/
www.domain.fr/recherche

Sitemap for www.domain.de

www.domain.de/
www.domain.de/suche

The sitemap generators generates:

 www.domain.com/
 www.domain.com/suche
 www.domain.com/search
 www.domain.com/research

But not all of those URLs exists at the application makes a check
and also compares the domains with the URL to make sure that no duplicate
content exists.

Country specific domains are a must and can not be replaced by a single
domain, due to company policies and other issues. Different responsibilites
for different domains but hosted on the same server and due to many
subdomains it is not advisibale to not use Alias domains inside of Apache.

I installed Google Sitemap Generator on my Windows 2003 server with
IIS 6. I have followed all the instructions to the letter, but I can't
access the admin console, either locally or remotely. If I try
remotely (I was able to enable remote via command line), it times out.
If I try locally using https://localhost:8181 it says the connection
was interrupted.

I see that it's generating map files, as they have appeared in the web
site folders. I just can't configure the thing. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. locally - go to https://localhost:8181 in any browser
2. remotely - go to https://www.mydomain.com:8181
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Firefox locally:

The connection to localhost:8181 was interrupted while the page was loading.

The browser connected successfully, but the connection was interrupted
while transferring information.  Please try again.omputer or network is

1. Reinstall the product over an existing installation.
2.

 The .lck file in the directory run can be deleted and if you attempt
another login the lck file is created with 0 bytes I've given iis site
guest nearly anyone rights to the file but cannot be written to. There may
be a prob with the handling of .cgi I have .pl handled not sure about that
try and install again and debug more. There are definitely problems with
permissions though. Oh the config file in the same directory as the cgi is
not always showing it is there and who knows the perms on it ??? 

There are sitemap.tgz's made in web directories as if the programs run,

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Google Sitemap Generator beta on Windows Server 2k3 (32bit) IIS 6.0 and 
ASPDOTNETSTOREFRONT shopping cart. 

Please provide any additional information below.

I have been using the Google site map generator since February of this 
year with much success. But today when I checked it, there was over 50k 
links in my site map... almost 3 times the average number of links from 
when it was installed. 

Looking through it, I noticed that it is combining links. For example:

The link that should look like this:
http://www.truckntow.com/c-147179-.aspx

Now looks like this:
http://www.truckntow.com/c-147179-.aspx/c-147075-.aspx</loc> 

A link that should look like this:
http://www.truckntow.com/c-147024-traffic-management.aspx</loc> 

Now Looks like this:
http://www.truckntow.com/c-147136-.aspx/c-147024-traffic-management.aspx

I reset to the default settings, tried using the log parser instead of the 
webserver filter, I removed all the custom settings but nothing fixed it. 

Please note that NO CHANGES were made to the configuration from the time 
is was working properly until it started doing this. To eliminate an issue 
with the site, I went to sitemaps.ord and genereated a 500 link site map 
which did not com back with the same problem.

My webmaster tools say there are no errors other than the usual broken 
links from using bad characters in our URLS which have alwasy been there. 

Please advise!

Please provide any additional information below.

The Music Website BlueMusicGroup.com has lots of subdomains, each html page
has its own subdomain address, total about 150 now. That is why I was
recommended to use a Sitemap.

According to the Google description, subdomains are allowed in the Sitemap
file. For instance http://mikapohjola.bluemusicgroup.com or
http://stillalive.bluemusicgroup.com is a part of
http://bluemusicgroup.com, not a different site.

Each subdomain on this site is only one page, linking to another subdomain
within the domain bluemusicgroup.com.

So – how should *one* Sitemap be created in a situation like this?

Following a recent suggestion by a Level 2 webmaster, I'd need to have one
Sitemap-file for each page, containing one page in each Sitemap file.
That's not what I understand the Sitemap is about.

Grateful for all help on this.
