   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.

   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.

   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.
