Two things come to mind.

 

1) you do not have the TEMP folder in your catalog folder or it exists but with the wrong permissions, or

 

2) Your settings inside of the easypopulate.php file are set to the default (which is wrong) and you need to edit them.

 

For number 1 you will need to be sure you have a TEMP folder in your catalog folder AND that it is CHMOD to 777.

 

For number 2 youo need to edit your easypopulate file, find the variable area around line 190 (for the ms2 version) and be sure that you change the temp folder settings as listed here below.

 

The default is:

// **** Temp directory ****

// if you changed your directory structure from stock and do not have /catalog/temp/, then you'll need to change this accordingly.

//

$tempdir = "catalog/temp/";

$tempdir2 = "/catalog/temp/";

 

 

What you want is:

// **** Temp directory ****

// if you changed your directory structure from stock and do not have /catalog/temp/, then you'll need to change this accordingly.

//

$tempdir = "temp/";

$tempdir2 = "/temp/";

 

 

The abouve example shows the catalog folder in the path. But this then wants the path to be something like catalog/catalog/temp when it really needs to be just catalog/temp.

 

Check those things out and you should be good to go!

 

Good luck.
