|
|
Hi all! Well I'm running WinXP with Apache 1.3.27 and PHP 4.3 and MySQL 4.0 and Smarty 2.5. PHP and MySQL are running great, however, Smarty is having a little trouble.
For some reason, I keep getting this error trying to run Smarty:
Code: |
Warning: Smarty error: problem creating directory "\%%117\%%1172603085" in d:\my documents\web design\websites\smarty-2.5.0\libs\Smarty.class.php on line 1042 |
I think it is some sort of permissions problem, but I'm not sure. Also, I'm trying to run the included demo with Smarty and have added the following to it:
Code: |
$smarty->template_dir= 'D:\\My Documents\\web design\\websites\\smarty-2.5.0\\demo\\templates\\';
$smarty->compile_dir= 'D:\\My Documents\\web design\\websites\\smarty-2.5.0\\demo\\templates_c\\';
$smarty->config_dir= 'D:\\My Documents\\web design\\websites\\smarty-2.5.0\\demo\\configs';
$smarty->cache_dir= 'D:\\My Documents\\web design\\websites\\smarty-2.5.0\\demo\\configs\\cache\\';
$smarty->caching= false;
|
Any ideas? Thanks guys. |

hi m3avrck.
1) If you are using safe mode, then you must also set use_sub_dirs = false.
2) don't use trailing slashes when assigning the directories
3) the templates_c and cache directories must exist and the user that owns the running instance of apache must have write permissions in the template_c and cache directories--probably best not to keep them under My Documents...
You may find this post to be a useful starting point.

Aha! So I created a templates_c and a cache directory, and then it all worked
Hmmm, maybe they should include these directories by default in the demo object folder, I know that would have saved me a headache! |

They don't pre-exist just because it is important that the installer ensures the directories have appropriate ownership (ie. correct user) and also appropriate privledges for that owner. Obviously, there is no generic way of creating the directories that would do that for every possible system on every supported os.
Besides, the manual is fairly clear about that
Glad you got it to work--I hope you find Smarty useful.

Hmmm, guess I just figured the demo would work out of the box, but I understand why it doesn't. Actually, this is the 2nd project I'm using with Smarty. Haven't used it since last Novemember, so I'm a bit rusty, And I'm glad to see the support for Smarty has grown so much since then.
Thanks for the help, appreciated! |
