Problem with Image XML Karma: 0  
Hello Community,

we have a problem regarding xml sitemap generation. No image is recognized and the sitemap is empty. All other "normal" sitemaps are shown correctly. I tried to handle with cache and the options for "include" and "exclude" but I had no success.

What am I doing wrong?

I use Joomla 2.5.23 an JSitemap 2.3.3 Pro.

Hello,

if the images sitemap is empty, it could mean that the crawler is not allowed at server level.
The hosting could have disabled loopback connections for security reason, in this case the sitemap crawler could receive an empty response.

Thanks für Your quick reply.

Is it possible to run the crawler on the command line in linux? What do You mean with "loopback" exactly?

Re:Problem with Image XML Karma: 79  
I had a couple of users that experimented a similar issue.

Investigating on it, the reason discovered was that the hosting provider didn't allow
php file open from script running on the same server (this is called loopback)

Basically the sitemap crawler needs to open socket to urls of your site and scan to find images.
If the response is empty or a captcha page is sent by server the crawler won't work.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with Image XML Karma: 0  
I think this was the trick. The apache configuration denied connections from localhost and the local ip addresses. Now it seems to work.

Thank You!
