When I tried to install magmi extension in my magento, i could not do it. I have install it through the upload option. But it shows the below error:

CONNECT ERROR: Package file is invalid

Invalid package name, allowed: [a-zA-Z0-9_-] chars

Invalid version, should be like: x.x.x

Invalid stability

Invalid date, should be YYYY-DD-MM

Invalid channel URL

Empty authors section

Empty package contents section

I have referred this site reference. But that is dead. The solution for this problem in this site reference1 was not helpful to me.

Already I have paste the magmi folder in Magento root folder with '777' permisiion. Screeshot Help me to proceed!!

Magmi is actually NOT a magento extension. It is written in basic PHP, that helps to speed up the editing Magento data, by manipulating data directly to the database, thus bypassing the default Magento workflow.

Steps:

  1. Download the Magmi Files, and copy to the installation folder.
  2. Provide appropriate permissions to the Magmi files/folders.
  3. Configure magmi with the details it need, eg, base url, and Database details.
  4. Run magmi, and be happy!

Note : Rename the magmi folder name to some random name, so others cannot access easily. OR, Create a basic authentication system to get into magmi

You can use installation from "Understandinge". It is an easy to use-configure Magmi installation.
