JoomlaJunkie - Joomla Template Provider Bringing color to the Joomla community

Hello,

I just purchased the "Absolute" template. I'm encountering problems with an installation ... and welcome help. (I'm a novice, yet have successfully installed some "free" templates in recent days, so I understand some basics). I've searched other tickets and didn't find anything that seems to relate to my inquiry. So here's what happens:

Installers - Template [Site] => browse/select "absolute.zip" => click "Upload & Install"

Result:
Upload template - Upload Error
Failed to move uploaded file to /media directory

media/ Writeable
administrator/templates/ Writeable
templates/ Writeable
images/stories/ Writeable

I've added just a few pics to the "Media Manager." There's no indication that the "media" file is set to block uploads / installs.

There are a few components which I've used on a demo template (experiments).

Any suggestions are welcome!

John

Hi John,
Glad to hear you figured it out Good luck with the rest..
Cheers,

and where did you upload it to?

having same problem.

Thanx

there is really no need to manually upload a template via ftp. Most likely he had a permissions issue, or did not unzip the template package first. If you are on Joomla 1.5 and setup the FTp install properly these problems are non-existent.
