Hello

I was trying to install the blog. but when i am trying to decompress the tar ball i downloaded from the site, it says that the Archive is corrupt.

so i uploaded anyway
and it says

/home/nasdasd/public_html/templates_c Not writable
Execute Imagemagick binary Not found
Permissions can be set by running shell command: `chmod 1777` on the failed directory, or by setting this using an FTP program
Due to a problematic diagnostic, you cannot continue with the installation until the above errors are fixed

There is no Templates_c at all..
please help
thanks

I had the same problem using 'winrar'. I tried 7-zip and it just worked fine. you can download it at 7-zip.org, it is freeware. But be warned: Even if it is decompressed with no errors, on a windows system there will occur a fatal error during the installation on the third page (it is not shown, so there will be a blank page). I will post the problem in a new topic. Excuse for my bad english.

If your templates_c directory is missing, you can just create that directory, it can be empty. And set the permissions to 777 of that directory.
