Have you created a temp dir under catalog?

What do you mean it's putting it in the "wrong place"? If you mean the categories aren't working right, then I'll bet your listing your categories "top down" from left to right, instead of "bottom up" left to right.

 

I've got to change this at some point, it's the cause of half the support emails I get.

 

The leftmost category (v_category_name_1) is the *lowest* level category.

 

So if you want a product to appear in the category hierarchy like this:

Toys

Plastic Toys

Cars

 

You'll need to list the categories in the excel sheet in this order:

.... Cars . Plastic Toys . Toys.

 

NOT

.... Toys . Plastic Toys . Cars

 

Or, if you're having a different problem, let me know!

Once you've got your store installed, the simplest thing to do is to go to your EasyPopulate in the admin section and download the tab delimited file, which will have the headers and sample data in it. Then you can see what's needed. Then add a couple products to the list, and try importing it. Once that's working, you can upload the rest of your products.
