      You’ve got this line at the end :-
      Successfully installed package aqueous-1.0-rc1

      So you should find that your template and any of its associated chunks etc. are installed OK. I occasionally see this ’cannot preserve’ error I think its when you’ve installed/uninstalled a few times but I can’t be sure, the core devs can answer this better.

      Check to see if package manager correctly shows the template package as installed and if it does in fact exist under Elements/templates.
        Use MODx, or the cat gets it!

        Ignore the PCLZIP errors like that; those errors dont mean anything bad, and have been fixed in SVN.

          Thanks!!!! Do you confirm me that when I show this error I will have no problem with templates installed??

          I’ve seen this error on all templates installed :-((( (only in the first I had no problems)


          Thanks

            I’m assuming that you mean templates for use in the front end of the site (Manager templates re-skin the Manager itself).

            In MODx, those front-end templates are mostly just HTML pages with some MODx tags in them that MODx replaces with content. In Revo, the tags all look like: [[some stuff]].

            After installing templates, you can find them on the Elements tab at the left and take a look at them. As long as you get the "Successfully installed" message, they should be fine.
