easy populate config problems?

[cleanflix]

i have the simplest of questions but that is because i am completely new with osc and php for that matter. in the setup for easy populate is says to create a temp folder in the catalog folder. i didnt find a catalog folder so i created one with a folder inside of it called temp. i tried to "Create Complete tab-delimited .txt file in temp dir" and i got this error message:

Warning: fopen(/home/cleanfl/public_html/shop//catalog/temp/EP2005Jan04-2109.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/cleanfl/public_html/shop/admin/easypopulate.php on line 603

 

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/cleanfl/public_html/shop/admin/easypopulate.php on line 604

 

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/cleanfl/public_html/shop/admin/easypopulate.php on line 605

You can get your file in the Tools/Files under /catalog/temp/EPEP2005Jan04-2109.txt

 

i probably just need help finding out where my catalog folder is. i already have several hundred products that i put in one at a time. i now want to change the discription of each one but i dont want to have to do it one at a time. my website is www.cleanflixvideo.com if you want to look at it.

Instead of catalog, create the temp folder in the shop directory. See if that helps.

you have an error in your shop/admin/includes/configure.php file, shop//catalog

take a look, you have two // in there, you can either post the configure.php or edit it and fix it.

also as bob said, create the temp in /shop and give it 777 permissions.

any other questions/posts about easypopulate, post at the end:

i set up a temp folder in shop folder like bob G. said. i was able to download a tab delimited txt file ok but now when i try to upload it and insert it into the db i get these error messages:
