I just downloaded the ja_travel16 template and installed via the the quickinstall (Joomla 1.6.3). However, on the home page, I see the phrase “JFolder::create: Could not create directory” repeated 3 times and none of the images display.

Any ideas what is wrong?

Thanks. — Rik

ps: Here is the link to our test site.

That is showing that you have a permissions problem. The script is trying to create a directory to put some resized images in but the permissions on your server are not allowing it to do so.

Firstly, in go into the joomla back end and check which folders it thinks are writable or not and correct any problems you may be seeing. It may be that you have to chmod your folders but you will need to speak to your host regarding the best settings. It may be that your server has safe mode enabled and in that case you will need to enable the Joomla ftp layer. Try both of those and see what happens.

Thanks for your reply.

In Joomla, Admin -> Site -> System Information -> Directory Permissions are now chmod 777 and all show as “Writable”. That got rid of the “JFolder::create: Could not create directory” problem.

Also checked our php.ini (dedicated server) and “safe_mode” is showing as off (confirmed also via Admin -> Site -> System Information -> PHP Information).

However, the template photo images are still not showing as per the link above.

What next?

Thanks. — Rik

That is showing as expected. The images shown in the demo are not supplied in the quickstart (as you would not want those images in a live site anyway?) so what you are seeing are placeholders. Simply replace those with images of your own.

Hi Phill,

some quickstarts come with images – can we use them (licence?)?

I believe you can use anything that comes with the package though why you would want to other than for demo purposes.
