Wordpress theme not creating own menu on live server

Question

I have a strange problem. I bought a theme called miniblog and it should have a "Theme options" menu item, where I basically set up everything.

At first, I added a site to my multisite network, switched the theme and couldn't find the menu. There were no plugins active on the site itself, but then I thought it was because of some network-wide plugins. So I installed a fresh WP on my localhost, tried it, and it worked.

I didn't want to have a separate WP install for this blog, but I guess I could live with it... so I installed a fresh WP on my server, uploaded the theme (no plugins at all) and... again there is no "Theme options" in the menu!

So I tried to copy the link to the set up page from my localhost, but I got the insufficient permissions error message.

What the heck is going on here? The theme I bought is practically useless this way. Any ideas?

Turn on WP_DEBUG and see if any errors appear on your remote host. And post the errors here so we can help debug any issues that appear.
