Template Install

[maverick]

Anyone got any ideas why this would happen?

I installed Joomola from cpanel

templates/sites

upload : chosse: js_element_red.zip

When i run install I get:

Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: Stat failed for /home/band/public_html/media/install_46039d2102f54/js_element_red/css (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /home/band/public_html/administrator/includes/pcl/pclzip.lib.php on line 4287



All file permissions are set to writable in the cpanel?

You're trying to view a ZIP file? If I understand correctly... you need to unpack the ZIP file on your computer and then upload the contents rather than the actual zip file itself. Maybe I am wrong?

Try doing the following steps, it should fix your problem. Let me know how it works out.

STEPS

1. CHMOD the following directories permissions to 777
(modules, media, mambots, components, images)


2.Then edit the file /home/user/public_html/administrator/includes/pcl/pclzip.lib.php as follows,Search for the word mkdir in the file /home/user/public_html/administrator/includes/pcl/pclzip.lib.php

Add the following before that line,

umask(0);



Cheers

Unzip first before you install on net

You DO NOT need to unzip the template file if you are installing via the Joomla Admin Interface (Which I would recommend using instead of trying to manually install via Cpanel or FTP). I would suggest deleting the orginal files you installed and reinstall the template with the Joomla Admin Interface using the following steps:

• Log in to your administrator section of the site. The link to your administrator section should be like this: http://www.yoursite.com/administrator/ .
• The administrator section should look like this:

On the top go to Site -> Template Manager -> Site Templates

• Select New form the options. See pictures below:
• 
• Browse to you zip file. and select it. Then select Upload File & Install.
• 
• The template is installed when you get this page. Select Continue and let's publish the new template.
• 
• Your site is ready for it's new look. Select the radio button on the Left to Template name and after that click Default from the Menu.
• 
• Click Site -> Preview -> In New Window

This should work. Also keep in mind the advice in my post above. Hope this helps.
