Guest johnnytv Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I was running version 5.0.7 and was having issues deleting images or folders through the file manager (just an error: Failed to delete file.showed up) and also under maintenance the sitemap rebuild always brings up an error too. I've updated to the most recent version this morning and still have this issue.Can anyone help point out something I can try to fix it? My site is also running very slowly compared to before the upgrade, the admin area especially. It's on my reseller account with no speed issues with any other sites so it doesn't appear to be down to the hosting. Any help would be much appreciated.

SimChris Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hi,I thought I posted solution to sitemap rebuild error elsewhere in forum this month from my own 4x to 5.1.1 upgrade. If you get error trying to rebuild sitemap, and never had a sitemap to begin with, it means the folder with your store doesn't have high enough write permissions to create new files (this is common with many apps in public root of a website/domain also). The simple fix, is to either increase write permissions on the store folder if not already 750 or as noted in the docs; -or- what I did instead was create blank unix text file (I use TextPad on Win7, or BBEdit on Mac), called sitemap.xml and upload to my store root folder (e.g., /ecom/ or /store/) and CHMOD the file to 777; then rebuilt sitemap, and worked first time. Problem is store doesn't provide blank empty file to write to, and directory permission on Linux servers defaults to 750 I believe so can't create a blank file there to built map first time. If having problems with image folders, you may need to check the permissions on the image folders to change them to 777 also, or as per your particular server environment. At least these helped my situation; your mileage may vary :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnnytv Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thought I'd just add to this, I couldn't get things sorted (thanks for the pointers re the sitemap but it still wouldn't work for me) so opened a support ticket and it was sorted very quickly, I'd recommend using them if going round in circles!

Dirty Butter Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Glad they were able to help you!! Can you share the fix or, if not, any information about what was causing the problem, in case it would be helpful to someone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
