Difficulty: Easy
Q:
I can’t figure out how to export my product database. Is this possible? I figured out how to export my products, but now I can’t seem to find the file. Where do I go to find the file?
A:
When you use the magento export import features all the files are saved to and read from the server’s filesystem. The files you want to import into the system need to copied (for example via (s)ftp) to /var/import/ directory inside your magento root directory. The files that you export from magento will be placed inside /var/export/.
Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
great post as usual!
I’ve already bookmark this article and will definitely refer this article to all my close friends and colleagues. Thanks for posting!
I still don’t understand how to access this “/var/export/” in order to download into excell
Sorry, I’m sure it’s really simple but I don’t know where to go.
What is Magento Root Directory?
Thanks for any helpful answer
Magento root directory is the directory where magento is installed in your server. From this directory you need to go to var and then to export and this is where your exported data resides.
I have a problem exporting/importing product data.
It says:
Notice: Undefined index: 0 in /app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Entity/Product/Attribute/Design/Options/Container.php on line 60
and var/export or var/import folder is also not built.
Pls help..
You should try disabling php errors on notices by putting this line:
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE ^ E_USER_NOTICE);
somewhere in your magento’s index.php file.
