No Thumbnail, No Descrption, Theme Installation Error

Permalink
I'm having a multitude of issues as I create my first theme.

1. After uploading the new theme files to /themes, a new theme becomes available to me to install in my dashboard. However, this theme has no thumbnail and no description. Both of these items were included in the theme file I uploaded.

2. Deciding to go ahead and try to install this theme regardless, I get the following errors:

Warning: opendir(/www/dmhilliker.com/themes/DMHGalaxy) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: Permission denied in /www/dmhilliker.com/concrete/helpers/file.php on line 36
Warning: readdir() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /www/dmhilliker.com/concrete/helpers/file.php on line 37



Here is the block of code from file.php (lines 32-44)
public function getDirectoryContents($dir, $ignoreFilesArray = array()) {
      $this->ignoreFiles = array_merge($this->ignoreFiles, $ignoreFilesArray);
      $aDir = array();
      if (is_dir($dir)) {
         $handle = opendir($dir);
         while(($file = readdir($handle)) !== false) {
            if (substr($file, 0, 1) != '.' && (!in_array($file, $this->ignoreFiles))) {
               $aDir[] = $file;
            }
         }
      }
      return $aDir;
   }

can you install other themes?
if so, its probably a permissions issue in your theme
