That looks like you've got 2 versions of PHP. There's your mod_php, which has MySQL compiled in, and then there's your php executable, which doesn't.

You can either recompile php, or you can run your froogle dump over the web like so:

[edit]Just a note, the last part of that line, "2>&1 >/dev/null" throws away any output from the command. I'd recommend testing without it, but putting it back in if you run it in cron.[/edit]

Hope that helps!

THANKS! Only problem with running from the browser is the fact that the user needs to authenticate as an administrator. I'd prefer not to comment out the authentication lines for obvious reasons.

Should my host be able to take care of the PHP issue?

You can add "-auth=id:password" to the lynx command to make it work.

Your host *could* take care of the PHP problem, but I doubt they will. Recompiling PHP is a tricky thing, it could take down web services for everyone, and they might not be able to do it if they're using some control panel software.

Hi guys,

Looks like Froogle has a problem with images loaded as php script. Lots of people reported drop of listings. Any ideas how to fix it? Or why this can happen?

Our firetank froogle add on does image support via URL in the next version (due for release with marketing manager 2.0), it'll be available as a stand alone module too, might save you some hassle as it allows you to control what is outputted for the feed a little more.

I am seeing the same prob; but it seems to work for some but not all.

X-cart 3.5.1
Installed froogle_update.php in /provider directory

I get this error:

90% of all products was dropped from froogle. Got email from froogle - they need url to large images (not thumbnail) in the file. Any ideas on how to change froogle_update.php to get url to first detailed image for every product?

Did anyone come up with a solution to this problem? I get it too.
