[Solved] Error!Could not find a Joomla! XML setup
My server
Opensuse 10.3
Apache 2.2.4
PHP 5.2.4
MySql 5.0.45
safe mode is off
I have search all over trying to figure out is this is a 1.5.1 bug or not. When I try upload File/ Install I recieve the following error
Error! Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.
Warning: file_get_contents(/srv/www/htdocs/mysite/tmp/install_47caec7b20725/ddj006/templateDetails.xml): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /srv/www/htdocs/mysite/libraries/domit/xml_domit_lite_parser.php on line 1082 .
This is my server and I have root access. All files and folder chmod 777 ( for troubleshooting purpose). The webserver is running under my credintials.I have been researching this for about a week and a half with no solutions. I also know that others are having this issue with no clear cut answer.

Re: Error!Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package
I solved the issue by following these steps.
Follow these steps to configure your system for PHP:
Open the httpd.conf file so you can make changes.
Configure Apache to load the PHP module.
Find the list of LoadModule statements. Look for the following line:
LoadModule php5_module libexec/libphp5.soIf this line isn’t there, add it. If a pound sign (#) is at the beginning of the line, remove the pound sign.
For PHP 6, the line will be:
LoadModule php6_module libexec/libphp6.so
Configure Apache to recognize PHP extensions.
You need to tell Apache which files might contain PHP code. Look for a section describing AddType. You might see one or more AddType lines for other software. Look for the AddType line for PHP, as follows:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phpIf you find it with a pound sign (#) at the beginning of the line, remove the pound sign (#). If you don’t find this line, add it to the AddType statements. This line tells Apache to look for PHP code in all files with a .php extension. You can specify any extension or series of extensions.
Start the Apache httpd server (if it is not running) or restart the Apache httpd server (if it is running).
You can start or restart the server with a script that was installed on your system during installation. This script might be apachectl or httpd.apache, and might be located in /bin or /usr/local/apache/bin. For example, you might be able to start the server by typing apachectl start, restart it by using apachectl restart, or stop it by using apachectl stop. Sometimes restarting is not sufficient; you must stop the server first and then start it.

Re: [Solved] Error!Could not find a Joomla! XML setup
I figured it out!!!! Open the templateDesigns.xml file and rename the beginning and ending 'install' tag to 'mosinstall'. Save the file and try again. Boom! It works.

Re: [Solved] Error!Could not find a Joomla! XML setup
I changed install to mosinstall as suggested above - but it didn't help. Isn't this "bug" so big that an official fix has to be released?

Re: [Solved] Error!Could not find a Joomla! XML setup
Check your templateDesigns.xml file to make sure it incldes the xml file itself.
Should look like this at or around line 20:
<files>
<filename>index.php</filename>
<filename>template_thumbnail.png</filename>
<filename>templateDetails.xml</filename>
</files>
Also insure line 2 install version reads <mosinstall type="template"> and not <install type="template"> and make sure the last line reads </mosinstall>, not </install>
It solved this error problem for me, hope this helps.

Re: [Solved] Error!Could not find a Joomla! XML setup
I ran into a similar error message, turned out to be an FTP configuration issue.
Solved it by uncommenting "local_umask=022" in /etc/vsftpd.conf

Re: [Solved] Error!Could not find a Joomla! XML setup
Also make sure you don't have any foreign characters in the text in the xml file.
I had an ö in the description, and this caused the "Error!Could not find a Joomla! XML setup" error when trying to install the template.

Check to make sure you aren't installing a double compressed file (zip within a zip).

Thanks to amaurib, your solution worked, and allowed to install.
But now, the forum page won't come up. The component page won't come up either for configuration.

Hi,
Unexpected errors may also occur if Joomla is installed into a folder where other files already exist. For instance, if you at anytime published from the builder and then installed Joomla to the same folder the Joomla installation will not work correctly.

Re: [Solved] Error!Could not find a Joomla! XML setup
I know now what my error was. I didn't notice that I was trying to use a template that wasn't supported by the joomla version installed. I mean, I was trying to install a joomla 2.5 template in my joomla 1.5
Could be one of your troubles too
