Template Will not install

Hi all, firstly, i am not a new user of joomla and your templates.
I have downloaded the new JA Norite theme, as normal I have uploaded the template using the standard method. My joomla websites will not accept the template. The page goes blank white, while uploading. I have then also uploaded the template manually using an FTP and when i select the template and go into edit the settings, there are several errors on the admin including JFolder::files: Path is not a folder?

Other joomla templates work on this install, is there something wrong with the current download?

Keep up the great work.

Paul

Hi Paul,
Well… the installation works fine on my server. If you like, PM the credentials to your server so i can take a look. I’ll be happy to help you with this.

Peace,
Gabriel

Sometimes errors do happen.

My advice is:

1- Check that the SIZE of the file you are downloading is equal to the size of the file DOWLOADED.

2- Make sure you have Deleted all previous installations of the template before installing the fresh one.

3- If the problem still persist, contact JA via their Ticket Support menu (which is on the top right hand side of this page.)

Good luck.

Ok… already sent you some recommendations but I’ll make them here for documentation purposes 🙂

Norite is a pretty heavy template and it seems that its installation could be going past some default php server settings.
I have recommended pdfx (Paul) to check two values inside his server’s php.ini file:
max_upload_size: usually set to 2MB but it could be set to 1. This would cause the server to install small templates but not big and heavy ones.
max_execution_time: usually set to 30 seconds. It seems that uploading Norite is taking more than 30 seconds. Changing this setting to 1 minute (60 seconds) would give the server enough time to process the 1.8/1.9 MB template upload and install.

Oh.. BTW.. remember to restart the httpd service 😉

Now, lets see if this fixes the problem. 🙂

Peace,
Gabriel

Ok thanks for all your help

I changed the settings in the PHP.ini file to 120 seconds and uploaded a file in my root directory and the admin directory to be safe.
LINE 232
max_execution_time = 120 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 120 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 32M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (32MB)

The Third line one about the file size was not the problem so i never changed it, i was uploading templates that were 2.3mb and installed fine.

Thanks again Paul!!

Keep up the good work!!!!!
