How to install magento sample data

NOTE: Importing the SQL file to your database will overwrite your existing content and website settings. DO NOT import the SQL file if you want to keep the existing content

NOTE: ALWAYS backup your database before performing any modifications

you already installed the template and the engine and you need to install the sample data please do the following:


- open your database with the PhpMyAdmin tool or some other database management tool and drop all tables (sometimes there could be some errors and you’ll need to drop some tables manually one by one)

- then import the dump.sql file from the “sources/sample_data” folder of your template package

- then access the magento root on your server, go to “app/etc” folder and delete local.xml file

- then open your magento website in your browser and you’ll see the the initial Magento installation page – reinstall the Magento website once again
