I have tried several times to install a theme and was not able to do so without an error. There are several examples here with issues installing a theme but, none of them fit the bill. Also, I did not see the Installation forum as the top of this page suggests. So, here it is:
I’m receiving an error for each OOTB theme installation
Failed to process hijacked response correctly : Errno::ENOENT : No such file or directory - timeout
I’ve reinstalled several times and verified the dependencies as well. I do have ImageMagick installed and the version is 7.1.1-47. I’m on Mac Sequoia 15.5.
Hi Nate! Thanks for taking a look. I’ve included the zip file for the theme. I was able to get the OOTB working but, only when I install it via zip file. The custom theme here is still throwing an error. Thank you!
I don’t know if this helps but, I’m getting the same error ‘An error occurred: Import Error: about.json does not exist, or is invalid. Are you sure this is a Discourse Theme?’ when installing a theme or theme-component from a device. The install from git repo is also throwing a 500 error on each.
And should the directory be placed in the themes folder in the file system or does it matter? I get the same result when I place the about.json outside the itd directory.
Sorry, I may have mixed two issues. Installing “from your device”, I receive the about.json error so, as your previous post suggested, move the about.json from the itd folder and place it ‘outside’ the folder. Which I did. The location I have my folder, itd, is in the themes/ directory with foundation and horizon. I zip the itd folder and then install. I still receive the error regarding the about.json.
I did not suggest to move the about.json file. I suggested to take a look at the file structure in general. Usually __MACOSX is not part of the theme structure. You would only need the other itd folder as a zip.
