Adding new template cause error message in admin

  • Hey guys,

    I consider myself reasonably savvy with wordpress, I use it all the time for my client’s sites, but I have run into a problem that I have never seen before and I am not sure what the cause for it is.

    I am trying to add a new template file for my theme, called calculator.php, however, the minute it gets uploaded to the server, in the page creation page in the admin section, I am getting an error message on the right above the dropdown for choosing the template:

    Warning: file(/blah/wp-content/themes/default/._calculator.php) [function.file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /blah/wp-admin/includes/theme.php on line 132

Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /blah/wp-admin/includes/theme.php on line 132

Warning: file(/blah/wp-content/themes/default/._calculator.php) [function.file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /blah/wp-admin/includes/theme.php on line 132

Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /blah/wp-admin/includes/theme.php on line 132

    the top of the template file is right as far as I can tell:

    <?php
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Default_Theme
 */

/*
Template Name: Calculator
*/
?>

    Now I’ve added template pages in the past, and never had this come up before, any ideas why I am getting this? Also, it doesn’t actually affect the functionality, I can still set the template to calculator and it works, but I can’t send this live with this error.
    ftr this is the first time I’ve used 2.8, was there a change between 2.7 and 2.8 that affects this?

    and now for some reason the template won’t show up at all in the dropdown in the admin section. I can’t believe this is only affecting me?? I have used this same database and server for prior wordpress installs and never come across this??
