Delete your feed file and then run the script again, let it generate the file for you. Also, the file should be named .xml in all 1.5.x versions.
ok, I deleted the shabbychiccottage.txt file on my server. Then ran the script again. It created a shabbychiccottage.txt file again but it's empty.

This is what it said:
Google Base Feeder v.1.5.3 28.08.2007 10:25 started 2007/09/19 19:50:00
Feed file - /home2/shabecom/public_html/feed/shabbychiccottagefeed.txt
Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No
Google Base File Complete In 0.107445 Seconds 0 Records

so........it's not creating any records? Ftp is working fine BTW

I remaned the new file on my server with a .xml extension and ran the script again. same response. No records.

I've messed up somewhere.

Also I might add, in admin>configuration I now have TWO of these:
Google Base Feeder Configuration

Under admin>tools I only have one Google Base Feeder

Also after I run the script and get the above result and then click to view product feed file, I get a screen about LiveBookmarks and under that the title Shabby Chic Cottage and the rest of the page is blank.

Should I uninstall 1.5.3? What about the previous version I had? I copied and pasted all of the sql updates that were in the download for 1.5.3. There were 4 in a folder and then the one for 1.5.3.

TIA for any assistance..........
