adding new products in a mass way

so I have a txt file of the products that I want to add. I tried using easypopulate but it didn't work for me. I am using version 139h freshly downloaded on a linux server.

I finally got the admin area to work. it is SSL but I can't stay logged in when trying to insert file into database. I tried disabling the SSL and all teh other things suggested in the FAQ this is a Live "test" store that is not under my original store domain but an additional domain. any help?

I've never used EP, but from my understanding, if this doesn't work for you then you have a far more difficult task ahead of you than you realise.

Is this related to adding mass products in some way, or have you started a different topic?

How are you trying to 'insert the file'?

It is a little difficult to determine exactly what you need help with. Is it the adding of mass products using easypopulate, or is the inability to stay logged in that is the problem?

What if you try adding single products, do you stay logged in then?

Simply put, we need to know if you have a zen-cart problem, or an easypopulate problem.

Either way I'm sure someone will be able to help but we need more/better input from you.

i'm not sure which. I am going to try adding products by hand but I have over 10,000 products to add. (I'm a retailer going the online route). I have the problem of staying logged in when i tell EP to add the file.
