All the fileds are inserting properly except the image,thumbnail and small_image. I have given the path as \media\catalog\product\im The image paths i have given as im/abc.jpg When importing it should insert 3 attribute id 74,75,76.But now it is not inserting in the catalog_product_entity_varchar table Please suggest the coln.

Answer 1

The key step is the files need to be in the \media\import\ folder, if they are then they are found and moved automatically, otherwise the image field is skipped and that is what you have seen.
