Hi!
I read all about solving this problem but i just cant get my smarty to work Confused

I'm running it on Gentoo Linux, Apache 2.0.54 ana PHP 5.0.5.

My directory structure:
home
rok
Workstation
Smarty //Apache doesnt "know" for this dir Smile
WWW //Doc root for Apache

This is what ls-l returns:
Code:
rok@tux ~/Workstation/Smarty $ ls -l
total 183
-rw-rw-r--  1 rok users 12715 Sep 24 16:38 Config_File.class.php
-rw-rw-r--  1 rok users 62932 Sep 24 16:38 Smarty.class.php
-rw-rw-r--  1 rok users 91063 Sep 24 16:38 Smarty_Compiler.class.php
drwxrwxrwx  2 rok users    48 Sep 29 20:27 cache
drwxr-xr-x  2 rok users    48 Sep 29 20:10 configs
-rw-rw-r--  1 rok users  5066 Sep 24 16:38 debug.tpl
drwxr-xr-x  2 rok users  1040 Sep 24 16:41 internals
drwxr-xr-x  2 rok users  1952 Sep 24 16:41 plugins
drwxrwxrwx  2 rok users   176 Sep 29 20:09 templates
drwxrwxrwx  2 rok users    48 Sep 29 22:23 templates_c


I tried with chmod and chown but it doesnt work.
I have also used this code to test permissions:
Code:
         echo "attempting to write to $this->smarty->compile_dir\n";
         file_put_contents($this->smarty->compile_dir . 'foo.txt', 'test');
         $myfile = $this->smarty->template_dir . "/index.tpl";
         echo "attempting to read $myfile\n";
         readfile($myfile);

it returns
Code:
attempting to write to Object id #5->compile_dir
Warning: file_put_contents(templates_cfoo.txt) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/rok/Workstation/WWW/projects/autoclips/lib/gallery.class.php on line 59


If i run this piece of code:
Code:
      $dirs = array(TEMPLATES_DIR, TEMPLATES_C_DIR, CACHE_DIR, CONFIGS_DIR);
      foreach($dirs as $dir)
      {
         if(is_writeable($dir))
            print "$dir......OK<br>";

      }

Code:

/home/rok/Workstation/Smarty/templates......OK
/home/rok/Workstation/Smarty/templates_c......OK
/home/rok/Workstation/Smarty/cache......OK
/home/rok/Workstation/Smarty/configs......OK


What should i do?[/list]

use full system filepaths in your setup.

[php:1:58f2b1d8e2]$smarty->cache_dir = '/full/path/to/cache';[/php:1:58f2b1d8e2]

OMG it was my fault. I was setting my smarty config variables wrong.

$this->site->smarty->xxx
instead of
$this->smarty

I got this error
Fatal error: Smarty error: the $compile_dir 'templates_c' does not exist, or is not a directory. in E:\IDE\Smarty\libs\Smarty.class.php on line 1092

here is my code
Code:

<?php
require_once ('Smarty.class.php');
$smarty = new Smarty();

$smarty->template_dir = 'templates/';
$smarty->complie_dir = 'templates_c/';
$smarty->config_dir = 'configs/';
$smarty->cache_dir = 'cache/';

$smarty->assign ('name','Misan');
//$smary->debugging = true;

$smarty->display('index.tpl');

?>


I don't know how to fix this problem

Here is my php setting
safe_mode = on
safe_mode_grid = on

I am sure this is no problem with the path, I have modified the include_path to make it works properly.

Please advice on the permission to read/write file.

Thanks you vey much for reading and patient with me.

This is what seems to be happening to me. I'm using windows with apache/php/mysql. I've had no real issues getting smarty going on linux and mac os x, however, we're pulling our hair out. It should be noted that we aren't windows people, but have opened up permissions on the directories.
