CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

I tried to install a new theme, but when I click on :

Layout > Theme Manager > Import

it prompts always this message :

WARNING: You have insufficient permissions to upload or install themes. This may be due to the permissions on the uploads or modules subdirectories, or Safe mode may be in effect on your server.

Although I gave all the permissions for uploads and modules directories, and even the Safe mode is OFF, the message comes back !

Is it a CMS Made Simple problem or the PHP server problem ?

I'm working on Mac, with a XAMPP server.

Thank you for your help !

Did you make sure you gave full permissions (i don't know mac well but on a windows you'd tick read/write full permissions)
to these following folders

tmp
tmp/templates_c
tmp/cache
uploads
uploads/images
modules

Its not a CMS made simple problem, (i could be wrong if its a bug) but i think all scripts tend to act a little akward when under local host testing

since your on a mac itself, why don't you just transfer files into those folders instead of using cms made simple to upload files?

This will happen on a hosted site if the uploads/images folder doesn't have the correct permissions to be written to...

Importing themes isn't something you can do by dropping/uploading a file somewhere...

See this... http://themes.cmsmadesimple.org/Download_Themes.html

Thanks, Mark and TheLastLegion, for your answers.
I already tried to give all the permissions to these folders, but it's still not working.

In the Download_Themes.html, I read and tried but it's not working.

As you said, it must be a server problem, not in CMS Made Simple.
I will search again ...
