Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

In reply to my earlier post #317

I Just had to re-upload the googlefroogle.php page and it works fine now.

I am getting this error when generating the xml file: [Wed Aug 15 18:45:13 2007] [error] PHP Warning: chmod() [<a href='function.chmod'>function.chmod</a>]: Operation not permitted in googlefroogle.php on line 67

Any ideas?

Did you manually create your feed file?

The mod now creates the feed file for you. Delete your file in your server and re-run the script.

So the mod does not overwite the existing file? Strange.

So every time one has to update the feed, the existing feed file must be deleted first?

Or am I misunderstanding the above statement?

No, it just needs to create the file itself in order to be able to chmod it. It was a bug on my part to include the created file in the feed folder. This should be fixed in the documentation in the next version, if or when it's released.

I am getting these errors

I found this in response to a similar problem but I still can't get it to work.

Thanks for your help!

First, this is the Google Base Feeder support thread. Are you getting the same errors with the GBF?

If so, try to chmod your feed folder to 777.

[helpme]

Yes I am getting the same errors with both wlp and gbf. My chmod is already set to 777 for both the feed folder and the file googlefroogle.php
I had this working and I changed hosts and now it will not work. I even tried uploading it all fresh. Any other ideas?
Thanks!

No need to make googlefroogle.php 777, 644 should be fine.

I'm not sure then what it is. Somehow changing hosts has made the difference, maybe you should contact the new host?

If no file is present, the script will make the file thus becoming the owner. It should then be able to chmod the feed file itself... If a file is already created, then it cannot be the owner and won't have permissions to chmod.
