Google Sitemap Generator Beta will not install on web server

google sitemap generator beta will not install successfully

[jacosta000]

hello,

I'm trying to install Google sitemap generator beta. It can be found here -->https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/sitemap-generator.html

It looks like I'm getting close to the end of the install process. It asks me to validate the information I provide about the server. Once I verify the data and choose that I want to 'start with automatic submission disabled', it says 'Program files successfully copied', then it gives me an error that says "sitemap-install/install.sh: line 498: /var/www/html/gsm/google-sitemap-generator: cannot execute binary file. Failed to update site settings."

I'm not extremely knowledgeable with linux/apache, so I really don't know where to begin to try and troubleshoot this. I'm just wondering if anyone has any clues that could point me in the right direction.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

sorry, the error actually says:
'sitemap-install/install.sh: line 498: /var/www/html/gsm/google-sitemap-generator/bin/sitemap-daemon: cannot execute binary file
Failed to update site settings.'

Not enough information to work with. Does your system meet the minimum requirements? Server version, etc...

You can also post here for information - but I'd make sure I included all relevant info when doing so:

thanks for the reply. It looks like i have all of the prerequisites...
We're running CentOS 5 (4.6 was required) and apache 2.2.3. I also have plenty of disk space.

By the way, I just realized that I linked to the python sitemap script in my first post, not the new google sitemap generator here --> [googlesitemapgenerator.googlecode.com...]

The only thing I've noticed that seems odd is that it mentions that I don't have 'selinux' enabled right before it gives the error about the binary. It doesn't seem like selinux must be enabled, but i don't know. Below is everything the application says to me after i accept the TOS:

Is all of this information correct? If you answer No, installation will
terminate and you'll need to restart the installation, using the necessary
command line options. [N/y]y
Google Sitemap Generator will start creating Web Sitemap files as soon as it
starts up. Do you want Google Sitemap Generator to start submitting these
files automatically? There are three options:
1. First installation. Start with automatic submission disabled.
2. First installation. Start with automatic submission enabled.
3. Reinstallation. Use the old automatic submission settings.

Specify your choice [1]:1

SELinux is enabled.
Change security context of to system_u:object_r:httpd_modules_t
Warning: ignoring --context (-Z) because the kernel is not selinux-enabled.
