I tried installing Zinc for 1.5 on two separate hosting companies and both give me the following error:

There was an error uploading this file to the server.

What part of trying to install the template, doesn’t make sense?

there are many steps to installation including unzipping the file, uploading, following the http installation etc. information like whether you are installing on a preinstalled joomla or using quickstart would also be helpful.

its ok, im sure someone with more sense than me will be able to figure out how to help u.

cheers

THank you for the response, that makes more sense now for what you are wanting.

Steps taken:
Unzipped file and drilled down into templates. i tried to upload the zipped templates file.

The most common reason for this problem is that the File you have uploaded is too big. The File Size Upload Limit on your Server is set too low to allow larger files to be uploaded. By default PHP allows files up to 2 MB, but this limit might need to be increased to 3M as the JA Zinc template is 2.4mb.

If you have access to the php.ini, then change the directive upload_max_filesize to “3M” and reload the server configuration.

If you are running PHP in CGI mode on Apache, you can place an .htaccess file in your Joomla! root directory and place the following code inside:
php_value upload_max_filesize 3M

Let me know if the above does not help. It may also be a problem with your directory permissions though its highly unlikely

I believe i have it set to 8mb
post_max_size = 8M

Files are usually POSTed to the webserver in a format known as ‘multipart/form-data’. The post_max_size sets the upper limit on the amount of data that a script can accept in this manner. Ideally this value should be larger than the value that you set for upload_max_filesize.

It’s important to realize that upload_max_filesize is the sum of the sizes of all the files that you are uploading. post_max_size is the upload_max_filesize plus the sum of the lengths of all the other fields in the form plus any mime headers that the encoder might include.

Therefore you need to set your upload_max_filesize too.

Easy fix — I deleted the extra images and it uploaded without incident. Why didn’t I think of that before? Thanks, criticalkaos!
