First, please wrap your code in

tags and if you post this the in PHP section you might get more help.

Hi Bradley,

This could be a legacy issue. Try turning it on.

Nevertheless, I've updated your code a bit

<?php
// no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
?>
<?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?' .'>'; ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" dir="<?php echo $this->direction; ?>" >

<head>
    <jdoc:include type="head" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template ?>/css/system.css" type="text/css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template ?>/css/general.css" type="text/css" />
</head>

    <body>
        The name of this site is <?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('sitename');?><br />
        The administrator email is <?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('mailfrom');?><br />
        This template is in the <?php echo $this->template?> directory<br />
        The URL is <?php echo JURI::base();;?>
        <jdoc:include type="module" name="breadcrumbs" />
        <jdoc:include type="modules" name="top" />
        <jdoc:include type="modules" name="left" />
        <jdoc:include type="component" />
        <jdoc:include type="modules" name="right" />
    </body>
</html>

What version of joomla are you using?
Does this error occur only when you select your own custom template?

Legacy is for older versions of joomla and it uses '_VALID_MOS' instead of '_JEXEC'

If im correct, this is your issue. You adding your template code to the joomla system template or root index which is a big NO NO. Ensure the index.php file you are editing is located within:

templates > yourtemplate >

If that is not the problem, please zip your template and upload it (filesend) and send me a link

Hi Bradley,

I have taken a look at your template and everything thing seems fine from my side, think just download the latest version of joomla and see if it makes a difference

Na don't need to add it as a module, should work within the templates folder. To run it locally i use wamp. Then you just add joomla into the webroot folder.

Not too sure about php6, I find that php 5.2.9-2 does the trick as you would have to edit some modules to avoid using depreciated code. Plus, how many hosting companies have switched over?

this part i understand 'Then you just add joomla into the webroot folder. '. don't you instale a new copy of joomla for each web site? i will try php 5.2.9-2.
