VERY IMPORTANT
This extension supports ONLY Magento 1.5.0.0 or higher. It will not work in version 1.4
All the errors described below can be easily solved by your Server Support. The errors are due to extensions or permissions not configured in your server:

ERROR: Your max upload size…
In order to upload our themes, you should have a “max upload size” of 10MB. This means the capacity (MB) your server allows to upload the theme.
Our newest themes are not too heavy (most of them are 4MB of size) but our oldest themes could be heavier than that.
To configure this, you must go to your php.ini file and edit this lines:
memory_limit = 8M
post_max_size = 8M
upload_max_filesize = 2M
This tutorial explains you how to do it: http://blog.jc21.com/2007-05-03/change-the-maximum-upload-size-with-php/
This can be done easily by your Server Support, to explain this to them, tell this: “I need to increase my max upload size to 10MB”

ERROR: You don’t have all the needed extensions installed:
In order to extract the .zip file that contains the theme, you must have the “zip_open” extension installed in your server.
Your Server Support can install this for you just in a sec. You can ask them: “I need the zip_open extension installed”

ERROR: Unable to initialize HelloUpload. Directories app, skin and media must be writable!
This means that the folders app, skin, media must have writable permissions in order to install the theme.
In some cases you can do this from your FTP client, just selection the folder -> right click -> Permissions ,and you will see the options to set
the writable permission. But there are cases this doesn’t work, so you should ask to your Server Support to do this for you, just ask: “I need the folders
app, skin and media of my Magento install to have writable permissions”, they can do it in the moment.
Also, this can be done from SSH, this are the commands to set writable permissions to the necessary folders for HelloUpload:
First, step in your Magento root directory, then use this commands:
chmod 777 -R app/design/fronted/default/
chmod 777 -R skin
chmod 777 -R media
