"Orange" Template won't show in list -- can't install - tried everything

[zingslings]

I've installed a template before on another site. Worked great. I am now installing a template on a new site (new url, new host, new installation, etc). And it will not show in the dropdown box under template selection. I'm using v 1.3.8 with no addons or customizations. The only thing I've done was copy my database from the old site to have all my customer info, product info, etc.

All files are uploaded. I've tried 4 templates, none show up. Here is my file structure for one template:

/includes/templates/orange/common/tpl_header.php
/includes/templates/orange/css/stylesheet.css
/includes/templates/orange/images/......all included images
/includes/templates/orange/template_info.php

I have not changed any of the files.

Zi,
Make sure the:

1. includes/templates/orange/template_info.php

$template_name = 'orange';
$template_version = 'Version 1.0';

$template_description = 'This template set is designed to be easily modified using only the style sheet to change colors, fonts, and the store logo. Three images are required; logo.jpg, header_bg.jpg, and tile_back.jpg.';
$template_screenshot = 'scr_template_default.jpg';
?>

1. the red font above: double check
2. admin panel/ tools/ template selection
3. you half to click edit for the default for the drop down to appear

Here'e exactly what I have in my template.php file (in mystore/includes/templates/orange)

<?php
/**
 *
 * @version $Id: template_info.php, v 1.3.7 2007/04/26 11:48:12 $;

 */

$template_name = 'Orange';
$template_version = 'Version 0.1';
$template_author = 'Grupa ZenCart.pl (c) 2007';
$template_description = 'Szablon ZenCart.pl.';
$template_screenshot = 'scr_orange.jpg';
?>

I then go to my admin panel, click tools/template selection/edit - and the only thing I get there is the classic contemp. green. I even tried changeing the $template_author and $template_screenshot to what your example said and still no difference.

Maybe i'll take a break from it for a day and come back to it. I have to be missing something simple and have just looked at it too much.

Zi,
$template_version = 'Version 0.1';

Change to:
$template_version = 'Version 1.0';

Well, just for kicks I just installed this same template on another domain on another server - and it worked just fine. I took the same exact steps that I tried taking on my new domain and server (through GoDaddy). So it's obviously something on GoDaddy's part.

Guess I'll be placing a call to them tomorrow to find out why.
