There are many varieties. No matter which you choose, you will probably have to do some work to make sure your database fields and only your database fields are in the install.

Installed Easy populate (relatively straight forward) but in my admin panel when i go onto easy populate and click "create EP" (any of the options) all i get is

Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.

The proxy server could not handle the request GET /admin/easypopulate.php.

 

Reason: Document contains no data

and as far as i can tell i have followed ALL instructions to the letter does any1 no what i have done wrong? cheers

You need to have at least one item in your catalog before you download the file.
