Hi
I am new to BitNami and Magento. I just started a micro AMI on BitNami Cloud hosting with Magento installed.
After the installation, I dont see any product loaded by default and the store is empty. Although Magento website has a sample data to start the store with, it has a pre-requisite that this sample data needs to be added to the mySQL database BEFORE the installation of Magento.
Guess what, when Magento was installed via the BitNami cloud hosting, it did not add this sample data before the installation. Adding it now after the installation requires me to completely drop the database and run a .sql script downloaded as part of the sample data from Magento website. I am too scared to drop and recreate the mySQL Magento database and also I made lot of modifications since the installation that I dont want to lose.
So, how do I add new products with all the parent categories and attributes of the product.
Can anyone please help?
