Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Hmm...just installed 1.61 (an upgrade from 1.53) and all seems to work but get this repeating stuff in the admin? Just copied the zip files up to my host, no SQL changes...

Each line is the new product type, I'll make it look nicer but if you read carefuly you'll notice the differences...

(you have to create it, even if you have a google base account already)

Yes I did create the ftp account but get this error any idea?

The ftp account takes a while to be ready to use. Make sure you can login directly to that ftp server first,

Check that your google base ftp account is already activated and working. Using Internet Explorer or Firefox type ftp://uploads.google.com on the address bar.

Enter your username and password. If you can connect then your ftp account is working properly, if not, you have to wait until it becomes activated or contact Google if doesn't become active after a couple of days.

Check that you have entered your username and password correctly and in the correct fields in ZC Admin > Configuration > Google Base Feeder Configuration.

Note that the field for password comes first, then the username. We're used to entering username first, so check to make sure they're not switched.
