title: Creating a Magento Extension - Instructions Followed, No Package in var/connect
body: <p>I am repackaging a new version of a Magento Extension and am running into some trouble. </p>
  
  <p>I am following the instructions found on the Magento Connect site:  <a href="http://info.magento.com/rs/magentocommerce/images/packagingmagentoconnectextensions6%200.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://info.magento.com/rs/magentocommerce/images/packagingmagentoconnectextensions6%200.pdf</a></p>
  
  <p>The problem comes in the "Save Data and Create the Package" step.  I finish entering all the information in the various steps of the extension creator, include all of the files and directories for the extension, I click "Save Data and Create the Package" and nothing happens.  Certainly no "The package data has been saved" as it appears is what should happen by other posts that I have read.  </p>
  
  <p>I double checked the write permission of the magento/var/connect folder and all appear well.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any settings within Magento that may be off?  Is it a permissions issue that I need to dig into further?  Anyone have any ideas?   </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
