Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

I'm having trouble uploading a products text file using EP. I had the same trouble with OSCommerce and searched for well over a week trying to find a solution to the problem. I have removed the OSCommerce install.

I am hosted at WestHost.com
I am using MySQL 3.23.56 and Mod Php 4.4.1
I am using Easy Populate 1.2.5.4
I installed zen-cart-v1.3.0.1-full-fileset
I have no listing for Easy Populate under the Configuration menu in the ZenCart admin. (I believe there is supposed to be one)
I am uploading from a Windows XP machine

The text file is tab-delimited.

When I use the Upload EP file and click the "Insert into the DB" button I get the following message at the bottom of the screen.

File uploaded.
Temporary filename: /tmp/php1vrHty
User filename: ZCvideoShort.txt
Size: 1732

Upload Complete

If I upload the file to the Temp dir ( listed as EASYPOPULATE_CONFIG_TEMP_DIR/) I get the message at the bottom of the screen,

"Filename: ZCvideoShort.txt

Upload Complete"

Nothing shows up in the DB. I am trying to upload only one product in a category and it doesn't work. I don't know how to proceed.

I can download the EP file ok with the sample test products.

What do I need to do?
Thanks

hi,

thanks for the program! i installed it and everything seemed to go smoothly. i put all the files on the servers where they were indicated to go and i also created the txt file to download so i can add more products to it.

i finished editing the txt files using open office then copy it to gedit. i tested it to make sure that the spaces were all tabs. and now i tried to upload it using admin/easy populate. i get a response like this:

Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /zencart/admin/easypopulate.php could not be found on this server.

i checked again t omake sure that easy populate.php is there and it is..

am i not doing something properly?

anyone can help me with this?

Re: Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

I've installed Easy populate on v1.3.0.1 and no errors with it as of yet. I just noticed though, under "Configuration" I have Easy Populate listed twice? Anyone run into this?

You may have installed it twice. Do remove twice, then install once. My install/remove script was not thorough enough...

If I upload the file to the Temp dir ( listed as EASYPOPULATE_CONFIG_TEMP_DIR/)
Try uploading the files again, as it appears they are corrupted or missing.

Re: Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

Hello, iv been using easy populate for a while and now it all of a sudden stoped working. I then did an upgrade of the newest zencart. Now, i can download the databses fine. I can edit them, etc. The only problem is uploading. I can not upload from my local to my server. I set chmod 777 to the temp directory, and im using my own linux server. What i can do is upload the database via FTP to my temp directory, then insert into DB via import from temp/ , but i would like it as simple as possible for my client. When i click Upload from computer after i have sleected my file, it gives me an error in firefox saying ```
The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

      connection.

      that Firefox is permitted to access the Web

Can someone give me an idea of a direction i can be pointed at to fix this? Thanks

Re: Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

Ok, I need some help.

I have been using Zen Cart on a local test server for a while, and have moved it to a live test server to begin final testing before going totally live. Everything worked fine on my local test machine, I uploaded everything to the live machine and everything seemed to work fine there as well. I updated my products with EP and everything seemed fine.

I go away for a week, come back, and now I can't upload anything with EP. Depending on which browser I use, I get either the option to download the easypopulate.php file, get a connection lost error, or simply a page not found. I didn't change anything that I can recall, host says everything is ok on their end. I tried removing EP and re-installing several times, it seems to work ok, it downloads the latest inventory into a file for me, but I still can't update the file.

From what I can tell, the host uses PHP in CGI, and globals are off...would either of these be the problem?

PS. Server Info is as Follows:

PHP 4.4.2
MySQL 4.1.14 - standard
Apache 1.3.34
Zen 1.3.0.1
DB Patch level 1.3.0.1

Re: Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

Hmm... Im thinking, is HTML tags and code allowed in descriptions? I used to be able to use them.. But if i cant upload with descriptions, and i can without them... Then... Could that be the problem?

Re: Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

Where can I download a copy of Easy Populate. I have tried to download from the ModHole, but the link does not download a zip file, only a index.php file.

EP_v1.2.5.4.zip 90.42 KB 01/03/2006

Re: Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

Some issues I have experienced with ep:

can't download my database like before in ZC 1.2.7 using either EP2.7* or 1.2.5.

I used to be able to select entire categories using ZC 2.75, but this only allows me to export to temp file by sub category now. I have 43 main categories and many subcategories up to about 4 deep with 5500 plus products.

When I tried to download my entire database using EP1.2.5, I get error page 500. Would like to speed things up, but currently very slow and tedious operation is killing the time available.

Currently exporting to temp file on server with EP 2.75 in ZC 1.2.7 and downloading through FTP, editing and streamlining database; and uploading to new site ZC1.3 using EP1.2.5.

Re: Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

I've sorted something out

Using EP2.75a in ZC1.2.7:

Go to admin>Tools>Easy Populate - Create an export files

Select from dropdown:

save to temp file on server

enter product # in boxes eg

begin: 1 end: 1000 Limit by Products_ID(s)

click on > Start file creation button

Download file to your desktop using FTP

Now for the attributes arrrrghhhhhh!!!!!

Re: Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

When can we expect a version of EP that correctly handles attributes?

Also, is there a wiki or tutorial on EP attributes? Those are so VERY confusing:wacko:

Re: Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

Hi there (a local sydney sider!!)

Was there ever a resolution to Easy Populate causing repeated Admin logins. I have used EP and love it, but now I can't use it and can't remove it. I have the latested recommended files for EP and ZC.

Please point me to to the post that fixed this problem.

Thanks,

Re: Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

I use this method to kill/install EP:

I use Filezilla FTP, and open the local directory with the same version as on the server eg /include/languages/english/*.php and view both sets of directories. I then delete the files in their respective folders one by one or where possible all in the same directory on the server.

I then open the new version of ep 1.2.5 in Filezilla, and do the reverse of the above - either drag and drop one file at a time or whatever you prefer.

Do the install as required in admin->tools, and then configure in admin->configure

Use EP V1.2.5 with ZC V1.3.0.1. Mine has issues - sometimes prefers the upload direct from admin->tools->EP or upload to temp, and then type in the file name in its insert in db box. It also doesn't like to display what it has done and gives me the server error 500 code - but the work's done.

Hope this helps:D
