Error installing abessive-6-1.x-1.4

Why is it looking in the garland folder for the abessive settings?! Odd!

How many themes do you have enabled? What is the default?

Also - it's better practice to keep all filenames / folder names to lowercase when working with Drupal... so your sites/all/Themes folder shouldn't have a capital T.

TWELVE ENABLED?! Ok...

I'll have to do some testing to see why abessive doesn't like more than 1 theme being enabled.

Same thing here.. Salamander4 is my default theme, and here is what I get if I try to configure the abessive theme.

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'sites/all/themes/salamanderskins/salamander4/abessive_settings.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/monteres/public_html/sites/all/themes/abessive/theme-settings.php on line 23

Ditto. If I click "Configure", I get:

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'themes/garland/abessive_settings.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/content/n/h/b/nhbdpeex/html/sites/all/themes/abessive/theme-settings.php on line 23

Garland is my default theme for the Admin pages.

No offense meant, but perhaps you might consider rolling back to a previous version of the theme, rather than posting one that doesn't work? Or perhaps offer this one only as a development snapshot?

Just FYI, I got the same type of error until I 'disabled' all other themes

Hm... I enabled about twenty themes on a local test server to test this--including Salamander and Garland--and Abessive still works fine for me. Perhaps there is another factor involved.

I received the same errors and narrowed it down to the fact that I had Garland set as my administrative theme. As soon as I changed the setting back to "System default" the theme worked just fine. It also didn't seem to matter that I had other themes enabled - it was strictly an Administrative Theme problem. Hope this helps resolve the error.

In fact, problem raises when you used 2 themes : one for the content and one for administration.
In that case, the Abessive configuration script (theme_settings.php), for exemple, in line #23 makes a call :
require_once path_to_theme() .'/abessive_settings.php';
but the path_to_theme will return the path to the administration theme directory (because you're in administration section), and there no abessive_settings.php in there !!
Simply copy the file 'abessive_settings.php' (or what else you content theme needs) from your content theme directory in your adminstration theme directory.
Hope this is enought clear.
