A error message generating the SiteMap

[Carlos]

You could try doing as Shawn suggests, remove the pings to ask (and maybe to bing). Instead of deleting those portions of code, you can comment them out:

Edit template_functions.php (function pingGoogleSitemaps), and
Insert this:

Code:

/*

just before this

Code:

if( $fp=@fsockopen($ask, 80) ) {

and also this

Code:

*/

before this:

Code:

return( $status );

If you still get the error, remove bing too:
Don't remove that last */ and insert this:

Code:

/*

just before this

Code:

if( $fp=@fsockopen($bing, 80) ) {

and let's see if it works with google only.
