In v1.5.8 you can enable a plugin which is supposed to allow backwards compatibilty and the use of templates designed for v1.0 etc. When I enabled this I had immediate success up loading ".zip" templates from other non RocketTheme sites. I could then apparently make them the default template - but this had no effect the default origiinal Joomla template remaining firmly in place. But I was able to hover and see the newly uploaded .zip v1.0 templates!
None of the RocketTheme v1.5 templates upload at all - a blank screen eventually appears, forcing a reload and no template installed!
Hope this helps any Joomla/RocketTheme developers out there!
Mention the pssible Joomla 1.5.8 Template Bug is only an install problem with the Joomla Installer. When you manuallly upload the template there are nor problems..
The zip/compression lib in joomla 1.5 uses more memory than in joomla 1.0. You are probalby running out of memory but have php notices off, so it's not showing you the problem. You should enable notices, and also see if you can get the php memory usage bumped up.
You can turn on the notice logging from the Joomla Administrator. This will show you what's going on rather than a blank page. You can bump up the memory (if you host allows) with this in your .htaccess:
php_value memory_limit 16M

Made the change to the "php_value memory_limit 16M" .htaccess - no effect. Please tell me exactly how to enable php notices - as I have no idea how to do this

This is an error message I received when simply trying to load the simplex template extensions file (zip) not the main template file .tgz - hope it helps someone to explain to me what is going wrong
FastCGI Error
The FastCGI Handler was unable to process the request.
Error Details:
* The FastCGI process exceeded configured request timeout
* Error Number: 995 (0x800703e3).
* Error Description: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.
HTTP Error 500 - Server Error.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
Fast CGI PHP running on Microsoft IIS, yikes.. I really don't have experience with that, but sounds like a joomla core issue. I found this on the Joomla.org site, perhaps it will help:
Sounds like a badly configured IIS server with missing support for core php functions.
I have also see things like this happen with IIS when there is a permissions issue with the accounts that run the IIS process.
