installing a template

[novio8]

Hi,
just starting with ZC and I have a problem installing any template. My procedure: install ZC, works OK. I create a duplicate folder, just for testing.
I install a template from legacy series and it is not shown in admin template chooser. If I install the same template in original ZC folder everything
works OK. What am I missing here?
please help

You installed zen, then are you saying you duplicated the site as a test site in a separate folder with it's own separate database? So now you have a working live site and a working test site...

Did you make sure to copy the file /includes/templates/LEGACY_TEMPLATE/template_info.php? If that file's not there, the template does not get shown by the admin-level tool.

no I just duplicated the whole Zencart folder on server root level where original folder is. I did not create new database. I can browse original site or duplicate
site, database is the same
