[AlexT]

Are there any known incompatibilities with other mods?
Any ideas at all on how I should approach the issue?

Many thanks,
Alex

v1.05 WINDOWS LIVE PRODUCT SEARCH FEEDER

updated to use Magic SEO URLs.

[taf]

Hi,

Sorry if this is slightly off topic. Been looking at this very nice mod and I was wondering if windows live product search has a UK version so i can use this Mod.

I can't see anything about a UK version on the web. Anyone know how to contact MS to find out about this?

Thanks.

I installed v1.05 and I get this error message when trying to upload to the windows ftp site:

Upload started...
Connection failed: ftp.productupload.live.com
Warning: ftp_connect() [function.ftp-connect]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known
Upload failed...

I have, I believe anyway, everything set up correctly in the config. Any ideas?

Here are my config settings:

Live FTP Username xxxxxxxx
Live FTP Password xxxxxxxx
LPS Server ftp.productupload.live.com
Default Currency USD
Magic SEO URLs true
Output File Name lps.xml
Compress Feed File false
Output Directory feed/
Use cPath in url false
uploaded date
Max products 0
Starting Point 0
Included Categories
Excluded Categories
UPC true
ISBN false
Product Type top


Thanks!

Thanks for the contribution. I get this error when I click on step 1 under the feeder option.

Error 404 - File Not Found

The file you are trying to reach could not be found on the server.
Please make sure that you type the URL correctly.



what could be the problem?

I'm getting the same error. Did you figure it out?

I'm getting the same error. Did you figure it out?

I got this from another thread dealing with another feeder by the same author, he thinks that it's because we don't have a dedicated IP and our server won't allow php to execute the script from a shared IP. Do you have a shared IP or a dedicated IP?

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.
