Hello, I just installed Smarty but permissions are not allowing it to work.
Whenever I run it it says:
Ex. the script with UID of 0 can't access templates_c with UID of 501
I have changed ownership of all Smarty files,directories to root and all possible groups and users apache nobody etc and chmod everything 777 but still get this error. I may need to restart the system?
Any help would be appreciated.

it seems you have safe-mode enabled. you have to switch $smarty->use_sub_dirs=false to make smarty work with safe-mode.

you don't need chmod 777 everything and giving all files to root doesn't make sense at all. just ensure all files are readable by your webserver-process (who is running with uid 501 it seems). and that templates_c is writable by said uid.

It's not needed to set the owner to root or something, just check under which user the webserver is running, and give that user write access to the following folders:

cache/
templates_c/
