|
|
Hello
I have spent the last three days trying to install Smarty. I am sure it is due to my own incompitance rather than any fault of this magnificent software, but if anyone could give me some pointers I would be very grateful.
I currently have a directory called 'smarty' in the root directory of my webspace - ie not directly accessable from the internet. In this folder, I have copied across all the required smarty files, as detailed in the manual (core directory, plugins directory, smarty.class.php, and smarty_compiler.class.php).
I have created (in the 'smarty' directory) two directories called 'templates' and 'templates_c'. I have changemod'ed them to 777 (yes, I know it isn't the most secure setting, but in my despiration to finally install Smarty I thought I would start with the easy option and then make it secure later).
I have copied across 'footer.tpl' , 'header.tpl' , and 'index.tpl' from the 'demo' directory of the Smarty download into the 'templates' directory on site. I have also copied across the 'index.php' demo file into the 'public_html' directory of my site (ie, if you go to www.mysite.com, the php file that loads is the Smarty demo php file).
I modified the index.php file, inserting the following:
Code: | define("SMARTY_DIR","../smarty/");
require_once(SMARTY_DIR."Smarty.class.php"); |
I hoped that this would successfully point Smarty in the direction of the folders in which it is installed.
What actually happens is I get the following error:
Quote: | Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "index.tpl" in /home/neowar/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1144
Fatal error: Smarty error: the $compile_dir 'templates_c' does not exist, or is not a directory. in /home/neowar/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1144 |
The fact that I am getting a Smarty error, rather than just a php error, means that it has found and tried to execute the smarty.class.php file. What I don't understand is how it then cannot find the directory 'templates_c'? I have defined the SMARTY_DIR - so what is stopping it from working?
I would really appreciate help with this.
Thanks in advance,
Archie |

Hi,
I've seen you haven't get any reply to your question... So, i'm a new 'smarty' user and i've got the same bug. Have you find what's wrong with that??? If yes, please could you send me a mail to explain me the way to correct it.
Thanks a lot.
Yvan |
