Currently I have a staging server and a production server, both with
MOSS 2007.  Site templates are made on the staging server, saved as a
template to the Site Template Gallery, then the STP file downloaded
onto production and added via the stsadm addtemplate command.

Recently when attempting to create a site using a new template, I
receive the following error:

"The template you have chosen is invalid and cannot be found."

Looking at the log gives me the following:

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!

Are you certain the template matches that of the environment it is
being restored to? Has the template come from a site collection with
publishing features enabled and going to a site collection without
them? Does the target site collection or source site collection use
content types that might conflict with the template?
