I use joomla and I am beginner at Joomla platform.I go to Extension Manager: Install. When trying to install new templates, its writing “Unknown Archive type”. Archive type is .zip. I try to install by this way/ “Upload Package File”, but I can’t . And also, the directory Templates is writeable 777 .
What’s the problem?
Thanks beforehand
Make sure you don’t have an “zip” or “tar.gz” files inside the zip file you are uploading. Also never change folders and file permissions to 777. All newbies make this and it a very serious security problem for your app. Ask your host to do all folders 755 and files 644 as @Lodder said.
