Theme Installation Error

[aryaman]

Hi,
I am using prestashop 1.6.0.5

have purchased a theme, but unable to install it.
Tried preferences>theme>upload from computer. It says can't upload file. tried changing the upload quota limit to 10 MB, still doesn't work.

Tried the module theme installator. Downloaded it from addons.prestashop.com, there it says it is compatible with 1.6.0.5 but when I upload it and finally hit install, it says "This module is incompatible with your version of PrestaShop".

Please help.

PS: I am working on a local development machine not a webserver.

I think it would be good idea to ask theme seller how to install it

But why is Theme Installator not working? It says on the website with stamps and all, compatible with 1.6.0.5 yet it doesn't install giving error not compatible. I don't understand.

The theme seller cannot give me more information than PrestaShop itself :/

 

I manually unzipped the theme zip, pasted the "theme" folder into www/prestashop/themes and modules part into www/prestashop/modules.

 

Now when i go to preferences>themes I do see the new theme as an option. When I select and hit save, a screen comes asking for the modules I want to keep/remove. On hitting save after that, the screen simply turns white and nothing happens.

 

Please help, I am new to prestashop and it seems rather complicated :/
