Froogle Merchant Center merged into GoogleBase

[Woodymon]

I updated the feed. and this is what the popup window showed...

Froogle Data Feeder v.1.3.3 07.02.2007 20:45 started 2007/02/18 10:57:33
Feed file - /kunden/homepages/11/d93880114/htdocs/feed/froogle.txt
Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No
Froogle File Complete In 2.118334 Seconds 2373 Records

Looks good.

Right after running the update check login via FTP and check the feed file datetime stamp to ensure it shows the time the feed was generated.

Or are you viewing via the "view" link at Tools > Google Froogle feeder
--> (NOTE: You may view your product feed file before proceeding to step 2.)

or opening and viewing directly in a text editor?

Is it possible the feed file you are opening is contained within your shop (catalog) directory and not the feed file in the path displayed above?

Before troubleshooting want to ensure there are not two different froogle.txt files on your system.

Which Product Type are your products?

Product type is general

checked FTP and the froogle.txt is same date/time as when the feed was generated. View the file, both via txt editor through FTP and the link before step two. It shows the same. Just the headers...no products.

Didn't change any of the config from what the install had them as. Output file is the same froogle.txt. and the directory, is Feed. Only one froogle.txt located anywhere on the system, and it's in a subdirectory off the root/main of the store. Same level as admin and includes, etc etc...

OK, copy your Config > GoogleFroogle Configuration admin page settings to this thread. Obfuscate any private info.

Four questions above:

#1. What are the error messages you observe when FTPing to Google.

#2: Latest version of googlefroogle mod by andrew is 1.3.3.3 and it is in the ZC Downloads area.

#3 Manufacturer field is deprecated and not supported by Froogle (GoogleBase) any longer. Condition will be required very soon. You should upgrade to the newest GoogleFroogle version. More info in this thread.

#4. kbalona was referring to a config setting in his FTP program which he used to upload the new version of GoogleFroogle mod files to his server. Generally you want to configure your FTP program to ask you to overwrite files, before proceeding with uploading/overwriting an existing file of the same name, that is unless you like to live dangerously. (this setting is usually enabled by default... look in your FTP program help file)

I think I had TWO problems, and I've solved them now...

One was that my website was set up as "vtstuff.com" in the configure.php files, but I had set up Froogle DB as "www.vtstuff.com". I added "vtstuff.com" and the files showed up there.

I also was not waiting long enough for Froogle to "update" with the file.

Thanks for your reply though!

I am also having problem since upgrading to 1.3.3 Nothing shows up in the froogle.txt file after the file generation process is completed. I also do not have any error message in the log. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Well, I rebooted the server and now everything works.

Now I am getting timeout error with 1.3.3 - [error] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 20971520 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 491259 bytes) in /var/www/html/googlefroogle.php on line 191

[BlessIsaacola]

I guess I shouldn't have upgraded because we are back to the same memory issue I had in the past with this mod. Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1026868 bytes) in /var/www/html/googlefroogle.php on line 191. No matter how much memory I set, it's not enough. Help please!

I am having an issue with my uploaded feed to Google base. Google base only seems to be uploading 206 items successfully, not the 31,234 listed in the feed from my sites feed generator.

ctcentralinfo if you look on your googlebase account uploads page it will list the current items as well as the non current or not published items or error items, does it have any errors against them? As if it is on your upload file it must be an issue with google and columns are not matching googles new format. I had an error and it was saying it was 'Too few Tabs' when it was the shipping attribute was not set to right format as listed in attributes!
