I just bought Mago and manually copied it across onto a clean and fresh Magento 2 system.
Following the directions here I downloaded the theme and pasted it into the root directory of my Magento installation.
I refreshed the cache and navigated to Content/Design/Themes -- but the theme was missing.
I have done these things to try to fix the issue:
- Checked permissions, the owner of all magento files is www-data and all permissions are 755.
- Checked directories matched the descriptions within config files.
Example: the composer.json file in each theme described the themes as /mago_default, /mago_blue etc… but after manual installation the actual folder names where just default, blue, red etc. Edit -- Seems to be working with standard folder names (/default, /blue, /red) but it is important that the full directory structure is correct. in my case this seems to be /var/www/store/app/design/frontend/ubertheme/mago/~mago different colors go here~ - Ran these commands from root magento directory
> php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
> php bin/magento cache:clean
> php bin/magento setup:upgrade - Note: > php bin/magento setup:upgrade broke everything (ie locked me out of admin with no web access) when I ran it.
The files all seem to be in the correct location, with the correct permissions, with dependencies all met.
This theme is very, very broken. I have also tried re-downloading and installing it from scratch.
Please advise on whether I should seek a refund or if you can assist me with getting it working.
Thanks,
Lee
Edit! — 5 hours later —
I was able to make the theme appear as an option in the Magento admin control panel.
In order to get to this stage I have had to:
- Rename folders based on information I found in the registration.php and composer.json files
- Apply correct permissions to the entire Magento directory
- Run a few commands: (I have no idea what they really do, and I do not remember the correct order I used)
> rm -Rf /var/www/*magento_store*/var/*
> php bin/magento cache:flush
> php bin/magento setup:upgrade
> php bin/magento setup:di:compile - I have also restarted Apache2 a bunch of times, and made numerous disk snapshots and tar.gz backups.
- Have tried each variation of the theme, all the same.
Now I still have a problem -- the theme is selected in admin panel, but there is no style or theme happening on the website.

Hi Lee,
I’ve run the following command:
find . -type d -exec chmod 775 {} +;
find . -type f -exec chmod 664 {} +;
chmod -R 777 pub/
chmod -R 777 var/
rm -R var/*
rm -R pub/static/*
php -f bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy en_AU
Now, your site has worked well

Thankyou, I can see the front end is working now.
You have broken then admin panel though.
After I log into the Magento admin page there seems to be no CSS styling and thus the admin backend cannot be used.
Thanks,
Lee
Edit -- I fixed this by running:
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
This issue is now resolved!!
Thankyou for your help Frank! I also really appreciate you letting me know what you did to fix the issue.
I’m impressed by this great support from Ubertheme.
