Guest Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Hi all! I've installed EP 2.4 on my server used it to download a complete file with all of my products. I have added what was needed and then tried to upload it. It processed for about a minute and then went back to the main EP screen. So, I thought it was done. When I checked the website nothing had changed. I remember reading that over 300 products that the file would need to be split. So I went back to the EP screen and found my file and clicked split. After one minute or so it went back to the main EP screen with no messages of anything. So, I guessed it was done. Checked my temp directory and nothing was there. I'm guessing I missed something somewhere when configuring EP. Any help would be appreciated! -Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
networkdad Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I would verify your temp directory is setup correctly in easypopulate.php Around line 154 $tempdir = "/catalog/temp/"; The directory can be whatever you want.. Then, make sure that whatever directory you have listed there is CHMOD to 777. HTH ~Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If uploading the file and it dies, that typically means it exceeded the amount of time a script can run. Generally, temp file problems will cause lots of "no permissions" errors, which you're not getting. Some questions to consider: How big is the file you're trying to upload? Is there a maximum file size upload limit that your hoster has applied? I would try downloading a file, deleteing everything except one record and the header row. Then edit that row and upload that. See if that will make it in. Then go from there. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I've tried about everything I know. I have updated and re-checked the configuration. Nothing seems to be out of the ordinary. Is it possible I have something wrong with the sql database? Also, I downloaded the file and then put one product in. Then tried to upload it to the database with EP. It just defaulted back to the main page after a second. This is a great program I have heard and I appreciate all the responses and help and look forward to getting it running. Any other ideas would be appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something very basic seems to be wrong, maybe we can at least verify the file is OK.... Tim (EP author) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitywebsvcs Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Double check your temp directory and permissions. I've been using EP to upload products to my store... so far I'm over 40,000 with almost no problems. I even upload files with 5,000+ items without splitting the files. Great job Tim... you're a lifesaver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kots Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Hi, :?: I was wondering way you need to use "EOFEOF" at the end of every row. It was causing some confusion with a client and I removed it. Made changes to the code and it is working fine. The file() function puts the uploaded file into array and then I trim() each element. Also I changed the code so the categories have sequential order: category1= root, category2= next level etc. If you would like to see my code let me know ...
