    Install local package - 'Could not upload file' error

    Hi,

    I am having trouble with a package I have created. Specifically, I have made a fairly extensive "basic" site on my local dev machine, and want to put it up on a hosted server. Both sites are running umbraco v. 4.0.2.1. The "production" site is completely empty. When I go to the developer section in the production site and "Install local package", I get an error after browsing to my local package file:

    Could not upload file
    System.Exception: Error unpacking extension... ---> System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. at umbraco.cms.businesslogic.packager.Installer.getFileName(String path, String fileName) at umbraco.cms.businesslogic.packager.Installer.LoadConfig(String tempDir) at umbraco.cms.businesslogic.packager.Installer.Import(String InputFile) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at umbraco.cms.businesslogic.packager.Installer.Import(String InputFile) at umbraco.presentation.developer.packages.Installer.uploadFile(Object sender, EventArgs e)

    I thought it might be a size issue, so I reduced the package size (by removing the "media" directory from the package files sections) and set the web.config to accept a 20MB max file size. (The current package is now 936 KB.) But I still get the same error.

    When I use an FTP program, I can see 3 GUID-named folders in the "data" folder, which contain the files from my package, so I know they are getting uploaded and at least unpacked...

    Does anyone have experience with this error or hav any ideas what might be causing the issue?

    Thanks!

    Heather

    Okay - well, I figured out what file was causing the problem - In the "Included files" section, I was including a robots.txt file which is located at the root level. Not sure why this file caused the blow-up, but when I removed it I was able to get the package to upload. Now I have a new installation problem, which I have opened a new thread for:

    'the given key was not present in the dictionary'
