Error occured while installing Themes.

[Raja Sekhar Kanugula, modificado hace 15 años.]

In the themes pliggins ,I installed the themes.
After installation the page shows as
" Your request processed successfully.
The plugin was downloaded successfully and is now being installed. "

But this theme is not displayed in the Look and feel tab.

The log is shows the following message.
"

try downloading the war file to your machine first. then make sure it is not in webapps directory of tomcat. then try installing it again by placing it in the auto deploy directory.

if that doesn't work, again make sure the directory is not in webapps, then try to install the portlet via the Plugin Installer portlet, You can upload local war files that way too.

Hi James,
Thansk for your reply
Just now I installed the theme by using install option.
THis time the theme installed successfully.
What is the difference .

Nothing really.

I simply thought it might be safer to make sure you downloaded the complete WAR, then upload, vs downloading directly to the auto deploy directory, where Liferay will scan and try to install before the WAR file is 100% complete.

Not sure if that was the problem however. At least you got it installed.

I am getting the same error when trying to deploy any themes whether via the plugins tool or by dropping the war in to the deploy directory.

Any ideas how to resolve this please?
