Free Joomla 1.5 Templates Flash: How To Configure Joomla‘s FTP File System Layer. How To Configure And Enable Joomla‘s FTP File System Layer read more………….. ***ONLY do this if you have errors after you have installed Joomla. These errors will likely first arise when you try to install a new extension, such as a new template. In fact, that is an excellent way to pro-actively test if you need to enable the FTP file system layer. Go to one of the Joomla theme clubs that offer some free templates, like Joomlashack.com, Shape5.com, YouJoomla.com, RocketTheme.com, etc, and try installing a free template. I show you how to install a new template at 5:15 in this tutorial: youtube.com If the install fails with errors, then, and only then, will you need to enable the FTP file system layer. Note that in this tutorial I make an new ftp account for my joomla instance to interface with, but I realize that some hosts (usually the free ones) don’t let you make new ftp accounts as they ONLY let you use the ONE ftp account that they give you. If this is the case, simply use THAT ftp account then. Also, make sure you adjust the “ftp root” setting appropriately.

@vilepium hey “vilepium” I guess U really havent got well acquainted with all these features/functions of web-hosting, so 1st of all just try reading good books,cause your method of collecting Knowledge “by asking here and there” may be seeming a good shortcut but may not be truly beneficial in the long run.

alex i want to add my own music to my site do you have any ideas or a video that i may have missed that could help me with this problem..thanks

use a joomla module like Akeeba Backup to do it properly. that’s what i use.
Alex is there any way once you’ve set up a joomla site to transfer it to another using FTP? I’ve been making a site on a different domain but didn’t wantt to publish it until it was far enough along. Now I’m ready but it doens’t seem to transfer

ahhhhh, right, rocketlauncher is like joomla plus all the rockettheme addons all packaged together and so it all gets installed when you install joomla.
just one thiing, at RocketTheme tutorials there is a video in which it explains how to install the rocketluncher and in that proccess he does not use the joomla extention instalation, even know u said it must be installed using joomla otherwise the database does not work?
