Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[findl16]

I am using Zen Cart v1.3.8a/v1.3.8 and I have downloaded the Google Base Feeder.

Initially I downloaded all the update SQL files by cutting and pasting in the sql patches section. I then found out that I did not require to do this as it was a first install so I deleted these from the sql database. I had also been unable to access google base feeder configuration but on searching google discovered that I had not changed the permissions on file public_html/admin/configuration and public_html/admin/admin.php in my root folder from 777 to 755 after download and getting instead an Internal Server Error like the one I have been reading about in this thread.

After transferring all the files via ftp and inserting the googlefroogle.sql file I attempted to use the google base feeder. It appeared to be successful and it was generating the RSS feed. The transfer also appears to have been successful and this is the result of the steps I took

Step 1: Google Base Feeder v.1.7.0 09.019.2008 17:38:59 started 2009/03/16 13:32:01
Feed file - /home/xxxxxx/public_html/feed/xxxxxx_products.xml
Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No
Google Base File Complete In 0.461483 Seconds 98 Records

Step 2: Google Base Feeder v.1.7.0 09.019.2008 17:38:59 started 2009/03/16 13:32:28
Feed file - /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/feed/xxxxxxxx_products.xml
Processing: Feed - No, Upload - Yes
Upload started...

but it has not appeared on google base and this is what appears when I click here:

You may view Google Base FTP content.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I cannot understand how I am getting the RSS feed showing when I click on this:

NOTE: You may view your product feed file before proceeding to step 2.

I am using the correct password and think I have configured the Google Base Configuration correctly.

I have looked to see how I can download this feed to my computer to do it manually but cannot see a way of doing this. Can anyone help please.



Upload ok!

What I am looking to do is have my Google Feeder
Send out the Lowest Cost for each item.
I know there has to be a way because if I search a product
on all the competitors websites.

Is there a simple veritable I should change?
