Easy Populate Install Question

[agzt]

I downloaded Easy Populate, the unzipped folder title is:

easy_populate_from_osc_2.76dmod3a

Do I place this entire folder in the Zen Cart root directory, or do I open it and then place the files it contains in the Zen Cart Root Directory?

There is a folder named catalog and 8 text files in the unzipped folder. Do I simply FTP the entire unzipped folder, or do I open it and FTP the one folder and 8 text files into the Zen Cart root directory.

I have a tab-delineated database I need to install.

EP_v1.2.5.4.zip from

Thanks, will try.

Do I FTP the two folders and 5 files to the Admin directory of Zen Cart?

Thanks

You read the instructions that come with zip file,
especially .txt file named install.txt
That file tells you exactly where to upload
folders/files for easy populate

[agzt]

I read that file first, it only says to be sure to place the files in the correct directories. Complete installation instructions are:

"Upload all files in their respective directories,
set permissions on temp to 777"

Below, contents of install.txt from zip file of easypopulate
version 1.2.5.4

1) Change the name of the "admin" directory in this package to suit your zencart installation
2) The temp folder is configured to reside in your store directory. If you store is not in the
site root (eg. /mystore/) then the temp directory must also go in this directory.
3) If you want to re-name the uploads (temp) folder, ensure that you configure Easy Populate to
reflect this change after installation
4) Upload all files in their respective directories.
5) Go to Admin -> Tools -> Easy Populate. If prompted to install Easy Populate, click on the
link provided. Otherwise, type in your browser address bar ?langer=install after /easypopulate.php
(eg. YOUR_ADMIN/easypopulate.php?langer=install). If you wish to remove and re-install the default
config settings, type ?langer=remove after /easypopulate.php
(eg. YOUR_ADMIN/easypopulate.php?langer=remove) and begin this step again.
6) Go to Admin -> Configuration -> Easy Populate, and configure the upload directory if you have
changed it from default. Also, ensure that the correct date format is set for your upload files.
7) If this mod gives you more time with your family or friends, and/or less customer headaches, please
consider a donation to paypal AT portability DOT com DOT au to ensure this module is continually supported and improved :-)

IMPORTANT!!!
-------------
** your temp folder must have owner permissions to read/write/execute (chmod 700) for EP to work.
EP now adjusts this for you (unless you have a windows server - ask your host to adjust permissions on this folder for the IIS web server)
** The temp folder has example downloaded files in it. You may wish to delete these before uploading.
** It is recommended that you download a file 1st and use this as a template for your uploads (install should do this for you..)
** If for some reason the config install fails, you can upload the SQL file provided using Admin -> Tools -> Install SQL Patches
That's it!
REMEMBER TO BACK UP EVERYTHING FIRST!

Thanks, those instructions were not included in the download install text or readme.

Sorry, tried many times, never installs. Will try different type of database transfer.
