Admin won't retain Template Selection

[Don Wagner]

I select the Template name and then select 'Upgrade'.

The new Template is shown as the default, but the new Template is not used.

When I go to back into Admin - the default Template information is blank.

Sorry for the poor protocol.

This is a new install of 1.5.0 done this morning using Fantastico (they do not offer 1.5.1).

I have done no other work on it - the template was my first project.

I did a setup (1.3.9) over two years ago via Fantastico - worked fine, but wanted to start again from scratch,

I have verified that every template file is on the server and in the proper location, but I don't know if the permissions are wrong.

I select the Template name and then select 'Upgrade'

Did you mean "Update"??

If so, I suggest that you manually install ZenCart and not use Fantastico

I did a new from-scratch installation of 1.5.1 using the recommended method, and a from-scratch download of the custom template

I still have the same problem!

When I select a Template and click Update, the Template Name and Template Directory are populated with the correct values.

When I go to Tools / Layout Boxes Controller (for the first time) it lists many new Sideboxes, and I click Reset.

When I go back to Template Selection, the default Name and Directory are blank again.

I appreciate all the help I have received so far. Do I have a file permissions problem, or is my database not retaining changes?

Is the template compatible with the ZC version?

And NEVER use fantastico...

Well I would venture to say that your settings are not being posted to the database
Reason is beyond being able to tell from afar

I just tried it with a template that is certified at 1.5.1

I looked in template_select, and looks like selection is not being retained.

I even tried to enter the data directly into template_select, but that is not helping, and I could be doing this wrong.

I may have set up the database connection improperly, yet in a way that does not cause an outright error?

Is there a way to review the database settings? Perhaps if I can post some of the setting info, it might help?

I appreciate everyone's help

Are you having troubles saving other settings in other areas of your admin too?
