Auto-Generated Sitemap.xml in Magento 1.9.2 – Setup Guide

croncrontabmagento-1.9sitemaps

I have a problem with the auto-generation of my sitemap. I did everything I have written below.

I created a sitemap through Admin > Catalog > Google Sitemap option
I made the auto-generation setup Admin > System > Configuration > Catalog > Google Sitemap > Generation Settings
I added crontab a cron job for cron.sh (This cron job runs every hour / I have evidence that it works)

But the auto-generation still does not work! Is there any log files I can check? I don't know what's missing!

Try using n98 to view the cron history and confirm its not being missed , you can also use it to run the manually and confirm it works - https://github.com/netz98/n98-magerun

And change the cron.sh to run every minute or at least every 5.

Magento – Can’t get cron to work

It looks like you need to setup the crontab for the user on your server.

Magento provides some generic instructions on how to do this.

Basically you should add the following lines to your crontab file.

MAILTO=your.user@your.server.com

*/5 * * * *  /bin/sh /path/to/your/magento/cron.sh

Cron Job Runs Twice – How to Fix Daily Cron Job Issue

You should actually be using the cron.sh script found packaged with magento. This does a ps | grep call to make sure the Magento cron isn't already running. If it is then it doesn't run. If you do this then you will never have worry about cron tasks overlapping.

Your cron setup would look something like this.

*/5 * * * * /yoursite/cron.sh

If you package this up with the AOE_Scheduler extension you'll be onto a winner.
