January 6, 2011 at 11:59 am #370457I’ve tried installing Oroes on Wamp on my localhost and it all is working fine. As such it must be something amis with your Xampp installation and that is really something we cannot help with. Have you tried Wamp – (http://www.wampserver.com/en/)?
I’ve always found it easier to configure and more reliable.marian Friendmarian

January 6, 2011 at 12:10 pm #370459I work with xampp for years as for sites testing and development and I didn’t have this kind of problem until now.

January 6, 2011 at 12:34 pm #370464I’ve just done an installation with Xampp and cannot replicate your issue. As such it is going to be almost impossible for us to work out what is happening on your end hence the suggestion to try Wamp.

January 6, 2011 at 3:42 pm #370489Unfortunately, I have never tried that.
Google brings up a few answers though – http://serverfault.com/questions/87219/can-i-install-wamp-and-xampp-on-same-computer

January 7, 2011 at 10:22 pm #370710Here I am with updates.
It seems that is not a xampp or wamp problem.
The problem is with the Firefox browser ! On Internet Explorer (v.8) all changes on admin area are immediately displayed.
I mostly use Firefox on developement because using Firebug who is the most powerfull tool that I’ve used.Another note: This isssue it happen ONLY with Joomlart templates (JA Ores and JA Droid as I tested).
I built some templates using gantry framework before and I didn’t have any “cache” problem.It’s possible to find a solution that work with Firefox ? (on Windows).
Thanks!

January 7, 2011 at 10:27 pm #370711I can assure you that it is working in Firefox as expected for me. As we are not there to look at your fireox problem it is going to be impossible for us to diganose any further. All I can suggest is you check the cache settings on your browser, the joomla cache and your jat3 cache.

January 14, 2011 at 1:01 pm #371859Try using kickstart from Akkeba. It is a useful free Joomla extension that helps with installations and restoring backups.
http://www.akeebabackup.com/download/official/akeeba-kickstart.html
You place the kickstart.php in the folder where you expect your index.php file to be in (ie /htdocs/kickstart.php) and upload the zipped file to the same directory, You then run the program in your browser by entering http://yoursite/kickstart.php and follow the prompts. This utility has solved similar issues for me in the past.January 22, 2011 at 10:22 pm #373228I am the definition of a novice when it comes to all of this. This is the first website i have attempted to build and i knew it would come with some difficulty. I just registered with joomla and have a standard account with them. I recently downloaded the joomlart Ja Ores template and followed the instructions from the joomla template install training video. so, i went Extentions>install/uninstall>chose the Ja Ores zip file and clicked install. after a few minutes i got an error saying “Error! Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package”
Obviously i know that installing a template is different from template to template. I tried following the quickstart instructions as well but being new to all of this, it sounds like a different language to me. Could someone explain to my in simpler english how to install the template and get it exactly like on the Ja Ores demo page?
Thank you much in advance, and i am sorry if i should have started a new thread here.

January 22, 2011 at 10:53 pm #373229No problem.
1: Unzip the package you downloaded from here. In it you will find a folder called quickstart. In that folder you will find a zip file. Unzip it.
2: Using a good ftp app such as filezilla upload the contents of that zip file (administrator, components etc etc) to your hosting space exactly where you want your install.
3: Browse to your webspace wherever you have uploaded all those files.
Once you get that far you simply have to follow through the standard Joomla install screens. Give it a go and if you get stuck on any stage come back and I will talk you through further.

January 23, 2011 at 1:33 am #373235I am sorry if this is a double post, but i just typed everything out and realized i was automatically logged out of the forum. so, i am re-typing everything again.
I made it through step 2 that you provided for me but i received this message on the joomla site
PLEASE REMEMBER TO COMPLETELY REMOVE THE INSTALLATION DIRECTORY.
You will not be able to proceed beyond this point until the installation directory has been removed. This is a security feature of Joomla!.
Click here when the directory has been removed.after researching on google i saw some suggestions that said remove or rename the installation folder. I tried both suggestions to no avail.
Is this a problem that can be worked around easily?
Thank you again, and thank you for the quick response.

January 23, 2011 at 10:07 am #373246If you have removed the installation folder then you should be good to go. If that has not worked then please PM me the link to your site, ftp details and your admin password and I will take a look. Please iclude a link to this thread in your PM to make it easier for me to respond.

J</blockquote>Dear densjan,
I am afraid that there is only the dark color for the i-phone and handheld layouts,you can change the mobile layout to the light blue yourself,try with the css files under the folder of templatesja_orescsshandheld
