Hi everyone, thanks for the comments, but I have the same error... I saw other template in joomla and I see that my template don´t have a index.php only index.html and css file and javascript file.

I change a htaccess.html file... like this

I include DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

and change the extension this htaccess.html like this .htaccess

But I still have the same error.

Any idea!!!

Answer 1

Have had this happen to me several times, and in all cases it was a problem with the template installation, or missing files. My fallback has always been to decompress the original files into the installed folder, or do a template installation on my laptop and FTP that template folder to the server. Always turns out to have been a missing file/folder in the template installation.

Check if you are passing any parameter in url or post method with name 'template'.

Answer 3

It happened to me to move by mistake a file (index.php) from /template into /template/images. Sometimes using Cyberduck it happen and you don't realise.

The template for this display is not available. Please contact a Site administrator.

I identified the file and place it back and everything worked fine.

Hope it helps
