I have installed a rockettheme template on this url
www.pedicarebybeckershoes.com/joomla
I can install everything but lib_gantry.zip. When I try to install it I get this error message
Library Uninstall: Manifest file invalid or not found.
Copy failed
JInstaller: :Install: Failed to copy file /var/www/vhosts/pedicarebybeckershoes.com/httpdocs/joomla/tmp/install_4fb14e3d50aad/lib_gantry/lib_gantry.xml to /var/www/vhosts/pedicarebybeckershoes.com/httpdocs/joomla/administrator/manifests/libraries/lib_gantry.xml
Library Install: Could not copy setup file.
How do i fix??

Hi J Frake,

You shouldn't need to lib_gantry.zip. You can use the following Gantry download files to install instead:
gantry-framework.org/download

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi Nick,
I have tried that. I have tried to install rt_gantry-3.2.19.zip and when I go to view the site I get this message: Unable to find Gantry library. Please make sure you have it installed.

And when I install gantry_joomla_framework-3.2.19 I get this error in the admin
Library Uninstall: Manifest file invalid or not found.
Copy failed
JInstaller: :Install: Failed to copy file /var/www/vhosts/pedicarebybeckershoes.com/httpdocs/joomla/tmp/install_4fb2567740a51/gantry_joomla_framework-3/lib_gantry/lib_gantry.xml to /var/www/vhosts/pedicarebybeckershoes.com/httpdocs/joomla/administrator/manifests/libraries/lib_gantry.xml
Library Install: Could not copy setup file.

I have also tried to do a fresh install of joomla on each occasion. Now what??

The server I am uploading to is a Parallel 10.4 and Joomla 2.5

Hi,

I looked at your page and got an error message that says the gantry library isn't installed, so there is something wrong with the installation.

If you switch to another - non-gantry template, does the site appear in the browser? You want to make sure your Joomla installation is working properly, and isolate the problem to the lack of the gantry library.

Completely uninstall the Rocket theme template and the gantry files, then try reinstalling after checking out a few thngs.
Often indicates a problem with file permissions or a missing tmp directory.
Get Akeeba Admin tools and use it to fix your permissions. Check this out.

Also


usually indicates that you are trying to install an incompatible version. Check to make sure the version of the template you are using matches the version of Joomla.

See if this helps. Then let me know.

Hi Ed,
I have done all those things and they all check out. Still no luck. I have done a fresh install of joomla, the works.
This is the template I am using www.rockettheme.com/joomla-templates/halcyon

Can you send me some login credentials so I can take a look. Send them to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Hi Ed,
I found the issue, it was a permissions error with the manifest file.
Thanks for your support

Glad you caught that. It's one of those little things that drive you crazy trying to track it down.

Good job.
Cheers,
Ed
