Google Froogle Cron question

[Paradigm81]

I believe I have the auto-update feature installed:


****Tips: To have this update and automatically upload product feed to Google Froogle Merchants, you will need to set up a Cron job via your host's control panel.
To run it as a cron job (at 5:0am like you wanted), put something in your crontab like the following:

0 5 * * * GET http://www.paradigmrockshirts.com/go...yes&upload=yes
or
0 5 * * * wget http://www.paradigmrockshirts.com/go...upload=yes****


I thing something is wrong because, I get two emails each day with the following:
/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/bin/GET: Permission denied
/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/bin/wget: Permission denied
Anyone with information of how I can resolve this would be greatly appreciated. I have little information on this MOD but it was ONE of the reasons that I had selected Zencart...

I just stumbled upon this.
did you set up your ftp account on google base and then configure it in the zen cart admin?

On a similar note, I'm using GoDaddy for hosting. They don't allow running executables so I have to upload my file by hand. Anyone know what's involved in setting up a cron job on a seperate *nix machine to send the file to froogle via ftp? I'm pretty sure this can be done if the froogle.txt file is local to the *nix machine if you use commandline ftp. Anyone?

Yes, the configurations are ok. I can do the manual creat and upload and it has no problem but the cron job is giving me permission denied. Anything else?

some hosts will lock these out

try using get and using the /actual/path/to/the/files

I am using sashbox as a host. Do you know if I would need to open a ticket with them to figure out what could be wrong?

It will not work. You have told:

some hosts will lock these out

/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/bin/GET: Permission denied
/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/bin/wget: Permission denied

Scripts GET/wget does not run - permission denied to access shell /bin/sh.

Two variants:
1. Use command line php.exe. It is impossible to start googlefroogle.php directly by php.exe. But it is possible to use intermediate loading "bootstrapping" script (php or perl - does not metter).
2. Start your googlefroogle.php using a cron job GET/wget on another server.

3. Try this one:
0 5 * * * curl -s 'http://www.paradigmrockshirts.com/googlefroogle.php?feed=yes&upload=yes'
