I have uploaded my theme using SFTP, and extracted the .tar.gz into the magento install directory (/var/www/html/).
The Magento 1.9 docs state to run the following commands upon install within the Magento install directory:
find . -type f -exec chmod 400 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 500 {} \;
find var/ -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \;
find media/ -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \;
find var/ -type d -exec chmod 700 {} \;
find media/ -type d -exec chmod 700 {} \;
chmod 700 includes
chmod 600 includes/config.php
But I still recieve a 404 error when trying to use the theme. Even if I set all files and directories to 775 permissions, and chown with www-data . I still get a 404 error when trying to use the "Theme Install" within the admin panel.
When I try and visit the frontend of my site, there are a few elements loaded from the theme, but 99% of the theme is missing (Home slider, navigation bar, stock logo).
I have uploaded everything correctly to my site, but still get a 404 error when trying to use anything. How can I solve this issue?
