Hello - I'm recieving this error message on multiple different servers for Joomla templates and I cant figure it out. Would love to figure this error out before I purchase the program to make sure I can use it.

I've set directory permissions to 777 and that still does not help. I have also had my host look into it and they tell me that everything is fine server side for those directories. Any other ideas?

Insufficient resources or efforts may create a situation where progress seems limited, yet it could also open a path toward new strategies and creative thinking that might not have been considered before, giving a sense that improvement is still within reach rather than completely out of grasp. At times, what appears lacking could gradually turn into an opportunity for growth, where small adjustments might lead to better outcomes over time, and understanding subtle ideas, even simple ones such as danke meaning, may reflect how learning can begin from the smallest points. This perspective may encourage patience and a willingness to adapt, as circumstances might shift in unexpected ways. Even when things feel incomplete, there could be a chance that persistence and thoughtful action slowly bring more satisfying results.

Hello,

Let us know if you need further help with this issue.

I have the same problem. Sometimes its working without problem, and next time I have this Insufficient permissions. It means it has nothing to do with my tmp and path, cause it is correct.

Solved for me : )

When I install a new themplate to Joomla, no matter if its a template you should use or not, I can open it, and after that I can open the template I am using....

Hello Benjamin,
just in case please re-check the permissions for the manifest.php file. If it does not help then please submit new private topic and provide access to your Joomla admin back end and FTP access to your Joomla folder.

Aileen

I've installed the template and now I'm getting this...

Insufficient permissions.

The theme cannot be edited. Please make sure that the user and group running web server is granted the appropriate read, write and execute(linux only) permissions on the following folders. As well as read and write permission on the files in these folders:

/home/xxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/administrator/templates/isis
/home/xxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/templates
/home/xxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/language
C:\wamp\www\xxxxx/tmp

Using FileZilla, I've changed the folder & file permissions to 775 to the folders suggested (other than wamp as there's no wamp folder on the Apache web server).

Any suggestions?

I'm having this too but with drupal and the desktop version. None of the solutions here seem to be applicable. I therefore reported it separately here: http://answers.themler.com/questions/24890/can-t-export-drupal-theme-insufficient-permissions-themler-desktop

I'm getting no replies, is there anyone around here who can share some pointers on how I can actually fix these permission issues? Or are there people using the desktop version who are able to export a drupal theme?
