did you clear all files in templates_c and let the webserver recreate them?

Yes, I did empty templates_c but no change. I am begining to suspect an overriding factor from MacOS X Server settings on www access rights.

unfortunately i only have access to a plain MacOS X machine (not "server") at the office to test smarty and there it runs without problems/warnings. "utime() failed" is normally caused when the file you want to "touch()" is not owned by you.

for a quick fix, i suggest you put an "@" before the call to "touch" in Smarty.class.php at line 1575 . that makes the warning silent. i don't see any real problems if the touch cannot be executed. the only thing is the compiled template then hast not *the same* timestamp as the source template but a newer one. that shouldn't be a problem.

of course i am interested in a real solution. please let us know on the list, if you get it working without that warning and what settings MaxOS X Server needs to handle templates_c correctly.

greetings

Thanks removing touch does allow the smarty templates to work. For interest touch commands have been restricted in MacOS X Server since 10.2.5 as a security measure.
Placing files outside of the web root is also a problem. (At least on my server but I may have been a little anal in my security set up)
The Apache user on server is www. So chown www:www or sometimes www:admin not nobody:nobody.
There is no php.ini though you can create one which seems to work. Pear/db.php etc live at System/Library/PHP/ on server. They may move if you use Entropy php binary install.
Server ships with php version < 4.2.
