When I tried to install Mixxmag template , I got this error:
Unable to uncompress data
Warning: gzinflate() [function.gzinflate]: data error in /home/.elke/ccadmin/jm.net4j.org/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/gzip.php on line 77
Unable to find install package
It's a new 1.5.9 site, default template works fine.
I extracted rt_mixxmag_j15.tgz file from the .gz file, then tried to install
Any suggestions on how to fix?

My poor old server has problems with uploading the gz files under 1.5 as well - mind you, it's probably my own fault ... been a little while since I recompiled PHP there.
Anyway ... the quick way I use to get around it is to uncompress it locally, and then recompress it as a .zip
I don't have any problems after that - maybe the same will work for you. - Ragdata's Rubber Duck

Thank you for quick responses. May be I am confused,
1. I first decompressed (using winzip and also gzip)the rt_mixxmag_j15.tgz.gz file I downloaded into re_mixxmag_j15.tgz file
2. I then attempt to uncompress locally the .tgz file ... I tried winzip and gzip, both ran into errors saying archive file is wrong.
What decompression program should I be using?

I now use WinRAR, first go from xxx.tgz.gz to xxx.tgz, but when I try to uncompress xxx.tgz, it says "the archive is either in unknown format or damaged".
I just re-downloaded the rt_mixxmag_j15_tgz.gz file again and same problem. I must be missing something?

Right-click the tgz file ... "extract to ..." - enter the directory you extracted it to, you should see a rt_mixxmag_j15 folder (perhaps even the same name as the folder you auto-extracted to). Right-click folder ... "add to archive" ... select 'zip' rather than the default 'rar' and click OK.
You should be able to upload the resultant zip with no problems. - Ragdata's Rubber Duck

first I right click on the xxx_j15.tgz.gz file to extract it, I got the xxx_j15.tgz file
then I right click on the xxx_j15.tgz file to extract file
winrar reported that the rt_mixxmag_j15.tgz file is invalid, and popup says 'no archive found'
I am on Windows vista.
I am still missing something... sorry for the trouble.

I'm wondering where you got the tgz.gz file ... last time I downloaded the Mixxmag template from ROCKETTHEME, I got a straight-up tgz file. Please tell me you didn't download it somewhere else and then come HERE for support?!!?
