Hi,

I'm trying to implement a new theme on an existing website powered by Drupal 6.17. I've recently uploaded a new theme to the themes directory, however that theme does not show up in the list of themes at >admin>build>themes.

So far I've tried:
1. Hitting the "Save configuration" button on the themes page;
2. Clearing the cache in admin>settings>performance;
3. Taking a working theme that does show up in the list, changing only the name of the theme (by changing the theme folder name and the details in the .info file), and uploading the theme to the themes directory. This theme did not show up in the list either!

Which leads me to believe that for some reason the site is not updating the themes list.

I'd be very grateful for your suggestions as to how to get the site to "Refresh" the list of themes at >admin>build>themes, or for any other suggestions you might have.

Kind Regards,
Michael

Further to my earlier post,

I just attempted to upload the "search by page" module. This is not showing in the module listing at admin>build>modules.

So this issue seems to be affecting both newly uploaded modules and themes.

Regards,
Michael

You probably uploaded the module in the wrong folder, but if you do not give us more infos it is impossible to help you!

I was replying to OP - my problem was a theme not showing up, not a module, just like the OP described. My folder was correct but on my server safemode is in effect so the problem turned out to be the ACL. I could copy my theme into the directory but the owner and the group needed to be set to 'root' user. Until then it just wouldn't show up in the theme list.

I downloaded my file, changed it, uploaded it and nothing happened.

Then, I double checked everything, uploaded it again and still no change.

After that, I downloaded my file to see that the change was being uploaded and much to my dismay my changes were not there.

So, I abandoned ftp access and logged in with ssh so I can upload it with the root user instead of the ftp user.

That solved my problem.
