Google Base not working in Magento 1.5.1.0

Question

I have integrated google base in my site. I gave google merchant details (username and password) in " configuration -> sales > Google API" in that google base tab.

And then i go to " catalog -> google base -> manage attributes" then click the ' add attribute mapping' button in the right side of the page. i got error message like

   '`Read timed out after 10 seconds`'

I increased timeout seconds upto 360 also . it wont work. what is the problem?. As for my surfing i have 85000+ products in my store. That is the reason for the problem to google base throws error?.

Kindly Advice.

Answer 1

I can't speak to your scaling issues, as I don't use the "Google Base" features and I'm unsure if the Google Base feed generation is well implemented or not.

However, in 2012 Google announced they were changing their product feed specification, and according to this page these changes started rolling out on July 15th of this year. I'd be unsurprised if your Magento 1.5.1.0 site (a version of Magento released April 26, 2011) is incompatible with the new and/or changed Google APIs
