Does it say how many product it wrote to the xml file when it times out.

[Kunal]

that's the weird thing, it process a different amount every time i run it. the file size fluctuates between 8-10mb, and different every time.

i don't think it's timing out, i don't know if it's like hitting a certain product and it's unable to process it? or just losing connection to mysql ..

Question=Is there a limit of number of products that your script will output to google?
Answer=There is no limit. Make sure all of your products meet the requirements to be listed on Google Base. The feeder will not include products which do not meet the minimum requirements.


I don't think the feed is writing all the products to the xml. I have 11000 and google base it is saying that it only processed ~3000.

Question= If google base didn't include some of them would the process number be 11,000 and the inserted number would be ~3000
Answer= yes, that is what I said. The feed skips products that do not meet the requirements.

Oh ok i see what your saying. the feed doesn't write it to the xml file if it is not vaild. Ill look into why the products are not vaild.

I got this off Numinix.com . So what he is saying if your products don't meet requirements they want process.

Also Query Cache 1.6 conflicts with this module also.

that's true, i think i read over that too. i purposely made a group of products have less than 15 characters in their description (15 is min for google) and ran the debug to test it out. It gave me the error messages as 'failed' and continued to move down the list.

this test shows that even if they didn't qualify for google, it would just skip over it, but it still just stops after awhile..

i don't have query cache installed

Did you make and php.ini file and put in the root of your server (not store root)

max_execution_time = 300
max_input_time = 90
memory_limit = 32M

yup i've got that in place as well.. do you know of another feed generator that might work?

No I don't, not right now. Something on your side is not quite right for it not to be able to handle all your products. To be honest I just don't know with out looking at it myself, and then I can't guarantee anything.

okay, i re-installed the mod and it still stops after awhile, but running the debug tells me there's a problem here

GOOGLE_FROOGLE_OUTPUT_BUFFER_MAXSIZE

that text is found here:

includes/classes/google_base.php

i can't seem to find where to adjust this output buffer size?

Download this file and upload it to your /includes/classes and see if it will work for you. I had to change out the google_base_xml_sanitizer. The file is from Google base 1.7.3A but I use the google_base_xml_sanitizer from 1.7.0a. Back up that file before you replace it.
