Google Froogle Cron question

[Paradigm81]

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

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'

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

I went in today and added this command as a third command in addition to the "WGET" and "get". If I was supposed to just run the "curl" by itself, I can try that after a day or two passes and I check the results of the CRON.

I tried this one as well as the others listed in this thread. Couldn't get the others to work but this one seems to work - no error messages, but also no upload to Froogle. The manual upload works fine - i.e. clicking on the 'upload' link in the admin area.

Any ideas what's wrong?

Did anyone figure out a way to run a new googlefroogle xml file via cron job in cPanel?

This works for me, sending it every week.

Maybe also check the folder permissions.

Q: does the manual file creation work when done from the admin? Does the file get created with a current date? Have you successfully uploaded to google base manually?
