Sounds to me like you either have the destination path set improperly, or you’ve got some permissions issues on your server. Either way, I think it’ll take a little more information about the process you’re using to upload/install the theme files.
Anyone can help? thanks
this is what i can when trying to upload a media.
Unable to create directory C:\Inetpub\vhosts\pawsamour.com\httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
and this is what i can when i try to install a theme.
Downloading install package from http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/themes/download/fazyvo.1.3.zip.
Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Unable to create file C:\Inetpub\vhosts\pawsamour.com\httpdocs/wp-content/fazyvo.1.3.zip because Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\pawsamour.com\httpdocs\wp-admin\includes\file.php on line 175
Download failed. Could not create Temporary file
When you upload and activate themes manually, does that work for you?
it looks like your wp-content folder is not writable.
set its permission to 777 and try installing the theme.
how to i set the permission?
Ah, I searched for this. Thanks for your fast help! 😉
I face the same problem.
After trying few times, I figure out how to do it.
hostname is your generic URL address.
For example : If your blog is http://www.panicanxietyaway.com/blog/
then your hostname is panicanxietyaway.com
your username is the name you use to log in to this hosting account and so do the password.
I am using WP 2.8.6 and I did not change the permission to 777. It remains at 755. I did nothing on CHMOD. All works fine.
Hope that helps.

BTW, if you change CHMOD to 777, you need to change it back to 755 for security purposes.
Hi Everyone,
I had the same problem with a client’s site. I realized that their wp-config.php file was from an old installation ie. WordPress 2.3 So I
1.Copied all of the parameters I needed from wp-config.php (see below) to the wp-config-sample.php.
DB_NAME
DB_USER
DB_HOST
DB_PASSWORD
$table_prefix
2. renamed wp-config.php to old-wp-config.php
3. renamed wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php
This did the trick!
I’ve just installed WordPress with Pixeled theme in my brazilian blog, but I do not know PHP or XML syntax or programing. I´d like to edit files of this theme to change field names exibited on the blog, like “leave a comment” to the expression in brazilian portuguese. How can I do that folks ? Thanks a lot.
