googlebase issue

[dkirwin]

Okay I am having a problem I am in admin setting up the gbase to report to google it asks for for

Google Base Feed Filename= Listings.txt

now i went to google and set that up like google asked so I am guessing thats what I was supposed to put there.

then it asks for

Path to Google Base Feed File

now in the box the mod says enter it this way

/home/yoursite/public_html/admin/feedinhere okay my site name is

www.want2bid.com and the feed in here I am guess is file name so i enter

/home/www.want2bid.com/public_html/admin/listings.txt/ then when i click

on gbase feed submit and this is what it says


Warning: fopen(/home/www.want2bid.com/public_html/admin/listings.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/want2b5/public_html/admin/templates/gbasemod.tpl.php on line 197
Couldn't create new file - Check your paths and filename!

UPDATE: i left Path to Google Base Feed File blank and it submitted all the feeds to google base i even loged into google and verified it but I would like the correct way to format that path to google base feed file so it can be done the way the program was intended to run

Usually instead of your site (www.yoursite.com) you use your user name which usually is the same as your home directory or whatever your Hosting provider named your directory at.

For example:

/home/want2bid/public_html/admin/feed

Make sure your feed directory is writable (chmod 777).

actually your error message tells you where it is looking for the file:

/home/want2b5/public_html/admin/feed

This mod will tell you what your path is, amongst other things....
