I've been able to add my feed manually, but no matter what I try, I can't upload via Google Base Feeder. Google must have done something on their end since we are all having the same problem. Anyone been able to contact them yet, or figure it out?

Getting same error as meknownowt a couple of posts back...
Processing: Feed - No, Upload - Yes
Upload started...
Connection failed: uploads.google.com
Upload failed...
Does not work via cron job or manually under Admin/Tools/Google Base Feeder....
As of today, information on this problem is very limited as Google hasn't been very forthcoming with answers yet. The problem isn't limited to zencart users and is apparently affecting commercial users as well. Check these articles:

Manual insertion still works fine from your Google Base account.
hmm. my ftp_username and ftp details just dont save over. Well they do for a little while but when i check the following day the details are reverted to the default settings. I have checked that the feed file is set to 777 and i can not do a manual submit either. The datafeed gets created but i get a 500 internal server error when i try to upload it. Any idea or any help as to how i can do a manual submit.
cheers
abs007...just save your data feed locally, go into your google base account, click the data feeds link. You will see an upload section, and click the upload file.
Hi thanks for the response. I have tried to do that but google base is not accepting the datafeed. this is the error message that i get
We did not understand some of the XML formatting in your file. You may be missing a tag or have a nesting or formatting error.
Also it looks like my details are saving now
any idea
I tried to edit the post above but the time ran out
Maybe i am saving the datafeed in the wrong way when i am trying to do a manual submission. I am copying the page contents of the data feed and pasting it into notepad then saving it as a .xml file. Is this correct?
Still the same for me, manual is ine once logged into the base account but otherwise upload feed doesn't work from within zen anymore
Is there a way of getting google to reply as to whats wrong?
I suppose the only good thing is we know its nothing we have done wrong !!
