Forgive me if I post this issue in the wrong place, for this is my first time posting on this forum.

First I do not own a server. I installed Drupal through my website host (ipage.com). I had no issues installing Drupal. I did, however, run into an issue installing a theme. When I tried to upload the ".tar" file it gave me the error below:

An AJAX HTTP error occurred. HTTP Result Code: 500 Debugging information follows. Path: http://cpuworks.net/authorize.php?batch=1&render=overlay&id=2&op=do StatusText: Internal Server Error ResponseText: UpdaterException: Unable to parse info file: . in Updater::getProjectTitle() (line 183 of /hermes/bosweb/web045/b451/ipg.cephaswebcom/cpuworks.net/includes/updater.inc)

What does this error mean? Did I download the wrong file? Do I not have access to a file on the server?

Thanks for any/all help!!

The .tar file is an archive of all the theme's files combined into one. Try extracting the tarball on your local machine and uploading the extracted directory and all its files to your sites/all/themes directory. Depending on how your host installed Drupal you may have to fiddle with the permissions. See here and here for more info.
