bought a template but cant install

[achevchenko +]

i bought a auto-red templa and it doesnt wonna upload right for some reason...every time i try to move the template forlder over to my templates forlder in my site i keep getting this error "There is already a file with the same name as the folder name you specified. Specify a diferent name" and under that it says .svn Type: File Folder....im confused i do nt know why it keeps saying that i dont have any other files with the same name on there...im using windows vista and my version 4....i dont understand why its doing that but it does copy and when i look inside the copied version it doesnt display right like the images folder just shows as a blank page once it copies over..kinda weird any solution to that?

It sounds like the download is corrupt. The svn files should be included. Let me do some checking on this. Also I noticed you said you are running v4.1.0 RC which is still in beta so I am not 100% positive the template has been converted yet.

V4.1 of the classifieds are in BETA as mentioned and not intended for production use. It will likely be ready for use with v4.1 when V4.1 is ready for production use.

I dont know, I am going but what you have in your 1st post where you say you are using v4.1 RC1.

If thats actually what you have then yes, you are using a beta version and where you download that version it CLEARLY STATES.......

This version was released on January 06, 2009. This is beta software please use at your own risk. Bugs may be present.

If thats not the version you are using then you really need to spend a little more time giving us accurate information so we can help you solve your problem.

Not really. The new V4.1.X version uses slightly different templates than the current production/stable release of the software. You basically have 2 choices....

if you want to run V4.1 then wait for the stable release of it, upgrade your site to that and then the template once its converted. No ones knows for sure when that will be.

Or install a stable production version of 68C which is 4.0.9 and then you can use the template you got right now.

how can i downgrade to version 4.0.9 other then reinstalling the whole site? any shortcuts? does it make a big diferent version 4.0.9 and version 4.1?

There isnt an automated way of downgrading as far as I know. Even if you stay with V4.1, you are at beta 2 and there have been 4 updates since then fixing bugs so the version you are using now has many known bugs.
