I'm not sure what the reason is (whether shared IP or not, this is something you have speculated), but it seems to be very common that store owners cannot use the FTP functions.

In fact, way back when someone first brought this forward, I took a very general FTP script off the net and uploaded it to one store's website, executed it, and had the exact same error return. So, don't think that I haven't tested this. It works 100% on 95% of stores with a handful of others unable to use it.

Out of curosity, who do you use for hosting? Maybe we can find a pattern.

I have exactly the same problem on dedicated IP (hosted with Jumba, the server is in Australia). Interesting that the Google Base Feeder does not cause similar problems.

Thanks,

I have a dedicated IP and I also have the google base feeder and it works fine. I think there is something wrong with this module. I also tried downloading the xml file and uploading it manually and I get an error.

And what is the error? If you're product filename isn't registered with WLPS, it will reject the file immediately.

[hyperlite635]

The file is registered. It uploads the file and right as it completes it says HTTP ERROR 403 or something like that.

[hyperlite635]

Has anyone figured out why this is happening? Any ideas?

[hyperlite635]

Ok I just tried to upload it manually again and it took it but then I got this message-

Catalog rejected: Not in the expected XML format.


I think there may be something wrong with the code?

Hi,

I installed this module and tried creating my product feed. I received the following warning. What did I do wrong?

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /home/dealbyet/public_html/lps.php on line 70

More information

I realized that I installed v1.04. So I updated to v1.06 by overwriting files and running the updated sql. When I clicked to create my product feed, it still shows the same warning.

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /home/dealbyet/public_html/lps.php on line 78

Delete the feed file and let the script create it.
