I'm trying so hard...but some major things are escaping.   

I think I uploaded the Chromatophore template to my FTP.  Somewhere (I think RocketTutorials) is said to do this:
The speed of transfer varies with hosting server speed and your internet connection speed. It is best to upload the extracted folder to the public_html directory so the path to your Rocket Launcher pack is public_html/Joomla_RT_Rocket-Launcher-package-name/.

So I put it in the public_html directory.  I read all of you saying you put it in your root directory.  I'm not understanding the terminology here.  HELP! 

When I then type in:  http://www.maverickauctionservices.com/Joomla_RT_Rocket_Launcher_Chromatophore
I get the following error -

Not Found
The requested URL /Joomla_RT_Rocket_Launcher_Chromatophore was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

How many, many things have I done wrong?

THANK YOU!

I see on my Filezilla FTP screen that it's there under home, iparentw (my name), and then public_html.  I then go and enter the URL of
http:///www.maverickauctionservices.com/Joomla_RT_Chromatophore_j15 (or  1.5)
I get the 404 Not Found error:
Not Found
The requested URL /Joomla_RT_Chromatophore_j115 was not found on this server.

I have noticed on my FTP server, the Port number stays blank.  I try to tell it 22 which is what my Rochen Hosting account says to put it at, but I hit okay or whatnot and it goes away.  Next time I go back in, it's blank again.

What the heck am I missing?  I don't want to give up.

THANKS!

[Edit: all problems handled]

Also, on the Joomla 1.0.1x prei-nstallation check it says:

" Session save path      Unwriteable"

What do I need to do? 

I found another forum that says it's not a problem...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Functions of Joomla! are not disabled with unwriteabled Session path.
It is marked RED for the security reasons. The directory where are temporary files and sessions saved is "unwriteable" for common users - that is GOOD. It means the script or user can read or write to this directory but can not get a list of the files inside. And that is CORRECT.
Joomla! checks this directory by the function "php_value session.save_path ../tmp" and because it can not get a list of contents send back "false" - in fact unwriteable.
So again - settings are ok, it is for your security. Now when the safe mode is OFF for all users of 110mb.com you can enjoy Joomla! without any problems.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

But I have no idea.  Just looking for ways to make things work correctly at my domain (see previous post).

With your FTP client application, move your files from the subdirectory to the root, then modify these settings in Joomla! configuration.php file:

$mosConfig_absolute_path
$mosConfig_cachepath
$mosConfig_live_site

Thanks for the mini tutorial!!! I have placed the Joomla_RT_Catalyst Template on my FTP. and went to up load as mentioned in the mini tutorial and it only gave me the option to download?? What have i done wrong??? Thanks for any help!!!

Well i have a question that may sound stupid but what is the difference between a sub folder and a none sub folder? Or i guess a better way to ask this question is what is a sub folder?? And as far as the options you mentioned before option 2 was what i was trying to do

2. If you don't want your site in a subfolder, ftp the content of Joomla_RT_Catalyst (for J1.0) or Joomla_RT_j15 (for J1.5) to your root, then point http://www.yoursite.com and follow the J installation steps.

And i put the Unzipped file on my FTP but where do i go from there? im not sure how to access the Joomla installation steps that were mentioned??
And again thank you for any help you can be!!!!!

I've been a member on the site for over a year and this is my first problem and first post...

I installed The rocketlauncher files (Joomla_RT_Replicant_j15) to my folder of choice on my site. I then open my the url to install joomla and I get the following error message:
Warning: main(/home/rocket10/public_html/home/installation/includes/defines.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rocket10/public_html/home/installation/index.php on line 19

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/rocket10/public_html/home/installation/includes/defines.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/rocket10/public_html/home/installation/index.php on line 19

I can't figure it out because the define.php is in the proper folder. Please help.

Thank You
