Hi Sysgenmedia -

I purchased and installed Store Locator and was trying the Batch Geocoder.
I successfully imported the following CSV:

"Sysgen Media","81 Scudder Ave, Northport, NY 11768","631-343-2211","http://www.sysgenmedia.com",,,"Stores"
"Sysgen Media","81 Scudder Ave, Northport, NY 11768","631-343-2211","http://www.sysgenmedia.com",,,"Stores"
"Sysgen Media","81 Scudder Ave, Northport, NY 11768","631-343-2211","http://www.sysgenmedia.com",,,"Distributors"
"Sysgen Media","81 Scudder Ave, Northport, NY 11768","631-343-2211","http://www.sysgenmedia.com",,,"Distributors"

Batch Geocoder indicated "We have found 4 locations to encode..."

Clicked on "Process Locations"

Got "Geocoding Complete! Processed: 0 locations. Errors: 0 locations."

Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong?

Hi Bob,

I imported your example CSV as indicated above in my test environment and it seems to work fine with the Geocoding.

Does your web server have access to external websites, or are external requests perhaps blocked by a firewall? The geocoder requires access to the google geocoding web service on port 80.

If you believe that should not be a problem then perhaps i can take a look at your installation. If you can add a temporary back-end user to your site and email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with access to your admin area i will gladly take a look.

Thanks,

Hi Jared -

I believe my server is set to have access to external requests.

You are set up as a super admin

URL and passwords removed for your security

Hi Bob,

Actually I may have figured out your issue.

I believe in your PHP ini you have set allow_url_fopen to false or off. This will disable PHP from accessing remote URLs such as google.

You need to set the following directive in your PHP ini file: allow_url_fopen = On

Let me know if that works...

Thanks,
Jared
