ISSUE:
After working to create a custom theme I found the default template and any new templates became unavailable through the typical method within the admin console.  I attempted to resolve the issue by re-installing and stepping through each modification systematically with no success.  This led to the manual modification of the database to choose the theme of choice.
WORK AROUND:Obtain the database name, database username and password. Create a new template being sure to include a template_info.php with the correct information.  Note the directory name. Enter MySQL (-p will prompt for the user password)        # mysql -u database_username -p
 Select database to use.        mysql> use database_name;
Change the default template dir.        mysql> UPDATE database_template_select SET template_dir = 'new_template'; 
Exit database        mysql> \q
Template directory has now been changed and will be reflected in the admin console.
