And what is the error? If you're product filename isn't registered with WLPS, it will reject the file immediately.
The file is registered. It uploads the file and right as it completes it says HTTP ERROR 403 or something like that.
Has anyone figured out why this is happening? Any ideas?
Ok I just tried to upload it manually again and it took it but then I got this message-
Catalog rejected: Not in the expected XML format.
I think there may be something wrong with the code?
I'm using it without any problems so it must be your installation. I would try running the uninstall SQL patch, uninstall all of the files from your sever and then start from scratch. A file might have been corrupted during the upload, it happens sometimes. And make sure that lps.php is installed in the root directory of your zencart.Quote:

I already checked to see if the file completed and it was. I'm going to try to uninstall and reinstall and ill get back to you.
I just looked at the file on your site and everything looks fine...
Just make sure you have registere the correct filename with WLPS.
Good luck.
Hi,
I installed this module and tried creating my product feed. I received the following warning. What did I do wrong?
Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /home/dealbyet/public_html/lps.php on line 70
More information
I realized that I installed v1.04. So I updated to v1.06 by overwriting files and running the updated sql. When I clicked to create my product feed, it still shows the same warning.
Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /home/dealbyet/public_html/lps.php on line 78
Delete the feed file and let the script create it.
Hi Jeff
Thanks for your help. After deleting the lps.xml feed file, the script then did create a new one itself. However, when I clicked to view my product feed file before proceeding to step 2, I received this error:
XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://www.dealbyethan.com/feed/lps.xml
Line Number 13087, Column 9:</Offer>
--------^
Also, when I clicked to upload product feed to Live Product Search, I received this error:
Feed file - /home/dealbyet/public_html/feed/lps.xml
Processing: Feed - No, Upload - Yes
Upload started...
Connection failed: ftp.productupload.live.com
Warning: ftp_connect() [function.ftp-connect]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known

Clicking to view Live Product Search FTP content resulted in this message:
Live Product Search FTP content:
Connected to: ftp.productupload.live.com
Connection failed: ftp.productupload.live.com
Is something wrong with my installation? Please advise. Thank you.
Nothing is wrong. Your script is timing out before completing. Also, the issue with not being able to use FTP functions seems to be related to hosting and non-dedicated ip's.
This costs about $2 a month...
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your explanation.
When you said my script is timing out before completing, what should I do with this problem?
What should I tell my hosting company about the issue with not being able to use FTP functions? Who do I pay the $2 per month to?
Your host would offer dedicated IP's as an upgrade on your current package.
You can increase the timeout length in php.ini as well as the Zen Cart admin as described earlier in this thread and also in the Google Base Feeder support thread (I believe it also states in the GBF readme.txt as well).
Another thing you can do is set the start and stop to a set amount of products. You seem to be getting around 3000 products in your feed so anywhere around that number would probably work. Then run it again at 3001. Use max_products to set the end.
excellent mods. Works great!
Thank you!
I get the Live error 2 out of 3 times - the Goolge uploads all of the time, you just have to keep retrying Live and it will go through or FTP it.

I see Live.com has been updated -- if you FTP then you have to FTP everytime or vice versa
Changes to the upload method for all catalogs: When you create a new catalog, the upload method that you select for that catalog, either HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol. A protocol used to transmit files over the Web.) or FTP (File Transfer Protocol. A fast, high bandwidth method of communicating between two computers.) , can't be changed. When you update a catalog, you must use the same upload method that you used when you first uploaded the catalog. If you have existing catalogs in Product Upload Beta, the last upload method that was used to upload each catalog will be set as the permanent upload method for it.
Yes, the WLPS FTP server falls very short of the capabilities of the Google Base FTP server. Fortunately, Live is so useless for sending traffic that it doesn't really matter.
I just installed Windows Live Product Search Feeder, and I installed the GoogleBase feeder a couple days ago. The problem I am having is both feeds are using my _Lrg images for product images instead of _Med. I do not have _Lrg images for all products as it is actually a "detailed view" of the product if one is needed.
What do I need to change to get this to grab the _Med images instead?
I am really having a difficult time getting this mod to work. I have no issue with generating the file, but I can't seem to be able to ftp the file. I am getting the same error the other users are getting
I was told by my web hosting company if the ftp upload is it browser based, it won't work because anonymous ftp is disabled.Quote:

I have your google base, feeder as well as your yahoo feeder installed, I am using the same feeder folder for all, could that also be causing the same issue?
Thanks for this great add-on
I was pleased to be able to successfully get to the "Processing" stage on both of my stores. However, I'm in the 5th day of waiting for it to finish processing and publish. Could this indicate a glitch of some kind?
Thanks
Hmmm... Day 7 and still "Processing." Using FTP I went ahead and submitted a second catalog, being certain to conform 100% to all guidelines but 36 hours later still no luck with this one either.Quote:

I stared at that a while, and then did exactly what it says.
I installed the patches first...... then the lps.sql.
I wonder if installing sql in the wrong order screwed it up?
BTW Zen version 1.3.6

running 1.3.7 with current version of this contribution. this mod is running on www.rubberduckbathrooms.co.uk/store and is where im getting the error when trying to upload
I've been uploading this feed via WS-FTP for several months, this morning uploaded 2 stores successfully, but the 3rd store failed consistently with this error: "453 Transfer complete but post processing FAILED". Apparently the upload works but the processing fails after that, and the prior data still shows on the Live Search Catalogs page. Suppose the Live Search FTP servers are down?
Anyone have any idea?
Hi,
I have two problems.
First, when it generates the XML file, it does not add the following to the end:
</OfferCollection>
</DataFeed>
Second, FTP fails with no response. I would contact my host but I have google and yahoo modules installed working without a hitch.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
compnet32
I contacted MSN about this problem. There is a problem with an as yet unknown MSN server, they are working on it and it is likely to take quite a few days to locate & fix.Quote:

Also, the Product Live pages now don't want me to sign out, click the link and it keeps coming back as still signed in.

Hmmm... now that I think about it, I wonder if that's the problem anyway. My second store has only 90 products or so and it's hanging in processing limbo as well.
i am unable to upload through either of my site but i can upload through filezilla direct by ftp.
i got one of my catalogs rejected, how ever i have been getting an error on google base as well and only 212 products listed, but then when i slit my products into 4 files each with 200 products max to total 664 products this seems to solve the error on google so far so done the same with live to see if this sorts the problem and so far not been rejected so fingers crossed.
how can i make a cron job to create these files and upload?? ie creayt file called live1 for first 200, live2 for products 201-401, and live3 for 401-601 etc???

*Update* The product lines from both of my stores finally processed successfully. It did, however, take a good 3 weeks, not the posted 36 hours. This add-on is superb, it's just Windows Live that has a few problems...Quote:

If anyone has had success please let us know what you did but it may be that this service is still in beta.
This is the most common question with the feeders and has to do with the script timing out before finishing the feed. See, XML files require the closing tags or they will not validate.
You can manually close them yourself.
So my catalog supposedly got published, but int he settings at Live it says "Merchant Category removed: does not conform to the correct format"
So...none of my products even show up
in the xml file it's showing:
<MerchantCategory>GIRLS | Outerwear</MerchantCategory>
with the | between the category and subcategories. I'm sure that is the probelm since it is not listed in the "allowed" characters...
I don't know what I need to do to fix this.
Update: I downloaded the .xml file directly from my feed directory in Cpanel and manually uploaded the file using HTTP. The catalog was published within 1 day.Quote:

i have this modual installed on my 2 site as seen below. i also have the google feed installed on both site.
with www.rubberduckbathrooms.co.uk i installed both moduals google and live and both worked first time out of the box so to say.
with www.fire2you.co.uk i found that neither google or live worked and recieved errors. with live i recieved this error. also had a simular error with google.
with this error is has to do with passive mode and the server. Both my sites are osted through the same companie on the same server package it was just a wierd error.Code:Processing: Feed - No, Upload - Yes
Upload started...

i then edited the following on line 431
and changed it toCode:ftp_pasv($cd, false);
this turned passive mode on and the upload workedCode:ftp_pasv($cd, ture);
hope this helps people out
Right, that's what I tried and it still didn't work. I'll try it again...
Just tried again, 3 times, all three times the upload failed....quickly.
what the error you recieve.
only other thing to do is download a new copy of the modual (might have a curruption) and upload again to your site.
then make sure all these file are set to 644 and the feed folder is set to 755
run this from standard with no modifications if you recieve the same error as mine, try the passive mode change above if you still recieve the same or different error please let us know the version of zencart you using and the version of live mod your trying to use.
Ehh...not worth it anymore. I'll just use an FTP program to put the file up there once a week....as long as the Google one works I'm fine....I get most of my customers from Google anyways.
I'm working on the FTP portion to see if it can be altered to work better for Live. Right now it is virtually the same as the GBF.
Up my problem and show image.

If you try the latest version on the Numinix site, you may find that it will solve problems for sites with a larger number of products.
Your feed is timing out and not closing the tags at the end of the file. I know you aren't using the latest version because I have removed image handler and your post shows an image created by image handler...
Yes, you are right. It seems to be working and the status is processing. Thanks a lot :)Quote:

It is a bug regarding images with spaces. I will fix this when I have time...
If you manually edit the feed file for that line and add % instead of the blank space, do you still get the parsing error for that line?

What do you think?
Hey Num, I really appreciate your help more than you know. Do you think I will have the same problem if I use the Amazon feeder? Thanks
try to have the customer go in and change the image names but about half the products have spaces in them (the ones she did).
Read my post again. I said "%20". I originally said "%", but that is a mistake.
Anyways, you don't need to do this all throughout your store, just open the .xml file on your computer and find the first product that returns the error and change the spaces to %20. Then open the .xml in your browser and if you do not get the error for that first product, then we know that %20 was accepted by the XML parser. Then I will update the mod to replace all spaces in product titles with %20.
I see. Sorry I didn't think the 20 was important. Let me give it a try again tonight and I will let you know. Thanks man.
I have been using this mod for a few months and it has been working I had trouble with the ftp upload but got it to work, but that's when I only had 200 items in my store, but when I add 8000 items to my store now my file gets rejected by live and you get errors when you try to open it in a browser, I really don't know a lot about this any help would be great!
here is a link to the file
The following tags were not closed: DataFeed, OfferCollection. Error processing resource.
The latest version of this module has had no problems doing over 10,000 products with the MSU Add-on (which makes it even slower). So, if you are using the latest version, then it is probably due to a slow hosting service.
I am using the latest version, I'm not using a hosting service, the server is sitting in the same room with me and is having no performance problems, and why would the tags not be closed?
can I close the tags, and resubmit the file and if so how?
Hi Numinix, has this been updated in the mod? thanks.Quote:

I say that because the mod actually uploaded my feed once. Only once. Windows Live hasn't let me upload it again since.
I've never once been able to get my feed uploaded with this mod. However, I don't blame the mod at all. Honestly, looking through all my referrals on different stats pages I haven't had ONE referral from the Windows Live Product search....not ONE.Quote:

Ok, it's to do with the illegal & symbol in your image names. I am adding a fix for this.
Ok thanks for your help, just let me know.
Try the latest version on the Numinix site.
Hey should I uninstall the other version and add this new one. Because when I copy and paste the SQL updates (first 1_0_3 and then second 1_0_5) when I go to the Install SQL Patches. I am not uploading the .txt file I am copying and pasting the text. When I do that I am getting an error:

It sounds like the key is already there. Have you tried using the uninstall SQL and then reinstalling it?

Here is an update: Still haven't had one accepted yet. A matter of fact, my account was totally blocked after that first attempt. I complained and was told that it could be copyright violations or formatting errors and that if your notified and it's not corrected then your account could be blocked. I told them that my account was blocked after one upload so I wasn't given the chance to correct anything and I make everything I sell so there is no way that there is a copyright violation.Quote:

I have given up on them. If your account suddenly gets blocked, don't expect any help from theme, after all "It's in beta".:censored:
new email arrived.

This isnt directly related to the contribution but I thought I would pass this on in case anybody else from that insignificant place known as ROTW has suddenly found themselves in a similar position.
My name is Chris and I would like to respond to your resent inquiry regarding the blockage of your product upload account.
Unfortunately we are currently only accepting US EN merchants for our program. We appreciate your continued interest in Microsoft Live Product Upload and hope that you will join us as soon as we are able to offer the product in your market area.
Thank you,
Chris

Did the same thing for me. I quit trying with them. After I get my feed into Google, MSN picks it up anyways.

You do know who you are dealing with, right? MSN? That should, in and of itself explain absolutely everything!:frusty:
M = miserable
S = support
N = Network
