EDIT : All the issues here are a result of using ubuntu 14.04 LTS

I have reinstalled using ubuntu 12.04LTS and everything is running well

**-------------------------------------------**

update 3 - problem persists.

although It looks like progress on the face of it, i.e. I can see  list of themes / extensions.

I cannot apply a theme nor see the "activated extension" of import transactions

Update (still not solved)

It seems "not seeing any extension/themes listed in the setup area" is something to do with PHP zlib compression not being installed in ubuntu 14.04

further steps taken"

1) turned on FA debugging

2) clicking on install/activate COA get this msg " www/html/frontaccounting/includes/packages.inc on line 165"

3) google search revealed zlib not installed in PHP

4) confirmed not installed by running phpinfo in doc root

5) installed using these instructions: http://www.namhuy.net/2430/install-enable-zlib-linux-server.html

6) NOTE! if you get this error, like i did -> "Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)"

THEN use these instruction before completing step 5) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1853026

7) reboot apache

8) can see zlib is now on (via phpinfo)

Directive    Local Value    Master Value
zlib.output_compression    On    On
zlib.output_compression_level    6    6
zlib.output_handler    no value    no value

9) and Im stuck again (the same error persisting " www/html/frontaccounting/includes/packages.inc on line 165"

.....but now convinced it's something to do with ubuntu 14 /PHP version.

I hoping someone can point me in the right direction from here

Perhaps and img will help explain the issue better - Lets use your Australia COA as an example.

So far I have :

1) downloaded the en_AU-0000.sql file from your git hub fork
2) copied into the FA SQL directory
3) AS ADMIN loged into the initial company and navigated to install COA
4) I am faced with this page (nothing in the list -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/icbq1u66vugr3p0/Screen%20shot%202015-04-05%20at%208.27.25%20AM.jpg?dl=0

Now,

If I create a new company, the en_AU-0000 appears in the list (although it is throwing sql errors which is another issue)

system info:
ubunutu 14.04LTS
mysql 5.5.41
PHP 5.5.9

Can you tell me what possible causes are for this?

Thank you

Hi Apthur,

If I go to  Install/Activate Extensions, I am faced with the install extension bage with no options.

Not sure if it's related but the problem is the same for :
  Install/Activate Extensions
  Install/Activate Themes
  Install/Activate Chart of Accounts

Docu seems to suggest clicking these options should make FA populate the list from the githup repo, is that right?

I have net access on this machine. Any ideas?

Cheers
Daz

Thank Itronics,

So what is the solution for this?

I've tried 3 fresh installs and haven't changed any code (not that id know how).

I'm surprised by this because the original demo company works fine. I would have thought this "databse" problem would effect that company too.

Cheers
