Image does not exist when bulk importing products. Please help

[afaye058]

Hello,

I am having a hard time importing my products.

I used data flow, and i always get this error message.(see screenshot#2).

I think my CSV file is on point ( see screenshot # 3)

Someone please help :-(

Hello,

Before you start the import, did you upload the images to the directory /media/catalog/product/ ?

For example the complete path should be /media/catalog/product/9/8/98183-1.jpg

Thank you so much for your reply.

Hi @afaye058,

Images to be imported should be placed into /media/tmp and then the path you entered into each field and the filename.

Hello @afaye058,

You need to upload all image in media/import with 777 permission and need to define path like below reference image

If you directly add image then it would be same as image but if you have any folder like media/import/products/abc.jpg then path in csv like /products/abc.jpg

If you have any trouble then let me know.

Thank you.

Hi!

@gelanivishal is right. The rirectory should be media/import and not media/tmp

I'm not sure what I was thinking (my bad)

Now i'm trying to figure out how to import the image gallery.

Do you have a screen shot of a csv file that has that?

_media_attribute_id

_media_image

_media_lable

_media_position

_media_is_disabled
