EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

Found the problem! Password protection for that directory was added to the htaccess file accidentally by cPanel. All resolved!

OK, I give up. Tried 3 times to install EZ-4, same result "server 500". Nothing in Apache2.2 logs. Last attempt was a fresh ZC install, renamed "admin" to "sam", verified ZC OK. Renamed "EasyPopulate-4.0-master->admin" to "EasyPopulate-4.0-master->sam" and uploaded "sam" to my ZC. Renamed "EasyPopulate-4.0-master->zencart 1.5 extra files->admin" to "EasyPopulate-4.0-master->zencart 1.5 extra files->sam" and uploaded to my ZC. I checked the site, it appears all the "easypopulate_4" files are in thier correct locations. I get an admin->tools->Easy Populate menu but there is nothing under admin->configuration. When I try to run the EzP4 from the admin menu all I get is the SERVER 500 Error.

Running Apache2.2 with PHP 5.2.17 on my WIn XPsp3 sandbox. Are there PHP config requirements I don't know about? Any other ideas why this has not worked?

Probably should've uploaded the files/subdirectories IN the 1.5-extra-files folder to your "sam" folder, using the same structure of subfolders already under "sam".
While I've not used the module, I can pretty much guarantee that the 1.5-extra-files folder isn't meant to be uploaded to a "1.5-extra-files" folder on the server ... instead, it should be considered to be extra files that ought to be considered part of the rest of the files, but only if you're using v1.5.

[CaptCuervo]

Did that. The "reg_easypopulate_4.php" file from "zencart 1.5 extra files\sam\includes\functions\extra_functions"
is what I assume to be properly located inside "Apache2.2\htdocs\zencart\sam\includes\functions\extra_functions".

That's where it belongs, right?

OH, btw I'm running ZC 1.5.1

Probably.

Update Thursday 1/31/13
Did a fresh ZC 1.5.1 install on my hosting site, uploaded EP4, everything worked as expected/documented.
Still does not install on local WinXPsp3 sandbox with apache 2.2.6 and PHP 5.2.17.

Does anyone have experience with ZC 1.5.1 and/or EP4 on a windows box?

Hey Chadderuski

Very happy made a script to make my import files into CSV with full downloadable product attributes .

Only thing I cant find is the option to turn on metatags in the config . Below is a list of the options in my Configuration >> Easypopulate 4 menu . Nothing seems to be useful for enabling meta tags.

Uploads Directory
Upload File Date Format
Default Raw Time
Upload/Download Prices Include Tax
Verbose Feedback
Make Zero Qty Products Inactive
Smart Tags Replacement of Newlines
Advanced Smart Tags
Debug Logging
Maximum Quantity Discounts
Split On Number of Records
Script Execution Time

Hope you can help with this one

Lovin EP4 !

Think I'm having an Import Issue.
I'm transferring all my products from one store (1.3.9a) to my new store (1.5.1). Download from original store goes fine. I upload the CSV to the new store via EP4, which also goes ok. It's a large file, so I split it. Ends up splitting into 5 files. When I IMPORT the first of the split files, it appears to be running, but then goes from the EP4 screen to a blank screen. I let it run for a while, just in case it is still working in the background, but nothing ever happens.

Anyone have any ideas?

[chadderuski]

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I thought the readme recommended renaming the temp folder. Not to "merges" specifically - that was *my* idea. Anyway, yes. I am, using your version, Chadderuski. But would naming the folder cause this authorization verification issue?

Hi Anne,

Sorry I missed your reply yesterday... NO, changing the name of the temp folder would not cause this. You did set the temp name under Configuration -> Easy Populate 4 .... there is a testing for the temp folder path.

Also, depending on your server's setting/hosting, you MAY need to change permissions to 777 ... most servers are okay with 644, but this all depends on how php is running...
