make sure themes/greypop/theme.inc exists and the files and directories have the right permissions.

themes/graypop/theme.inc does exist. How do I find if the files and directories have the right permissions?

FAQ: What information is required when I ask for help in the forums?

so you can check permissions with ls -l or maybe dir via ftp.
adjust permissions with chmod.
not sure what else to tell you.. you need all the theme files in the right place and the webserver/php needs to be able to read them.. maybe your webhost can help..

To mindless
first thanks for trying to help me
I have no idea what
"ls -l or maybe dir via ftp.
adjust permissions with chmod" means
I tried calling the server (Powweb) and they told me to post my issue on their forum, as yet I have not got a reply
I also tried to download another theme, with the same result.
I am totally frustrated with this and will probably stick with the preloaded themes
If you would like to check out my site the url is

Again many thanks for trying to help
Bud

Think I might be getting to the problem but not close enough
I downloaded another theme to my server called copyleft and it showed up on the all themes tab, What it has in common with the packaged themes is that theme.ccs, theme.inc,and MANIFEST files are located outside of the folders in each theme. with greypop they are located inside the themes/greypop/theme folder. Tried to move them up but this just generated an error message when trying to access the themes folder in site admim.Also there is no MANIFEST file in graypop. Help

themes/greypop/theme? get greypop111.zip, cd into your gallery2 directory and unzip it there. then everything will be in the right place.. themes/greypop/theme.inc, etc
MANIFEST is not required, they won't be in any 3rd party plugins.

cd into your gallery2 directory and unzip it there

What does the CD stand for?

Where do I download it to? The Themes folder? The G2 data folder? also not sure on how to unzip the file on the server side

Just unzip the files on your desktop using the folders option in winzip and FTP the files to your site. When you are FTPing the files to your site grab the greypop folder and put it in the themes folder on your website.

cd stands for change directory by the way. Mindless is telling you how to do it if you have shell access to your account. You might be able to do it if you have cPanel but I haven't figured out how yet.
