Smarty

Lets make Smarty work !

Hi Smarty users, and others.....

I started in school and there said i need to make my homepage via the Smarty Template Engine.

Im just having probloms getting it to work, i installed it on my FreeBSD server from the ports tree, and added this line in php.ini:

include_path = ".:/usr/local/share/smarty"

Then i wanted to make a test run, so I made some directory's according to the manual:

It now looks like this at my doc root where "/" is a directory:

/cache
/configs
/templates
/templates
index.php

I followed some examples, but its not working at all please help me out getting it to work.

Best Regards

turn on error_reporting and display_errrors on in your php (if you haven't already). and post the first errors you get here. then we may be able to help you.

I write my errors out in a file only, but here it is:

[29-Oct-2003 20:27:13] PHP Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'Smartty.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/share/smarty') in /usr/home/myuser/www/mydomain/beta/index.php on line 2

The file 'Smartty.class.php' is located in /usr/local/share/smarty.

My index.php looks like this:

<?php
require 'Smartty.class.php';
$smarty = new Smarty;
?>

But lets take it from here, iam glad for the help so far,

Thanks

"Smartty.class.php" or "Smarty.class.php" ?
also check if you include path is really the one from php.ini (with <?php phpinfo(); ?>)
remember to restart your webserver after changing the php.ini

[shagwell]

it was: Smarty.class.php not Smartty.class.php my fault, sorry.

Iam down to the filerights is wrong:

all files in my /usr/local/share/smarty have it like this:

-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 9962 Oct 29 14:54 Config_File.class.php
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 87861 Oct 29 20:43 Smarty.class.php
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 65286 Oct 29 14:54 Smarty_Compiler.class.php
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 4977 Oct 29 14:54 debug.tpl
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1536 Oct 29 14:54 plugins

my php.ini has it like this:

include_path /usr/local/share/smarty/ /usr/local/share/smarty/


Its telling mee this now:

Warning: main(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1001 is not allowed to access /usr/local/share/smarty/Smarty.class.php owned by uid 0 in /usr/home/www/docs/beta/index.php on line 2

i turned off error logging to a file, and got this error with more info, it must be the file rights.

[messju]

if you are using safe_mode, then you have to set
safe_mode_include_dir = "/usr/local/share/smarty/"
in your php.ini. this allows the files there to be accessed by the script
and you have to set $smarty->use_sub_dirs to false in your index.php to let smarty work in safe_mode.

i suggest you read http://de.php.net/features.safe-mode
(also safe_mode_include_dir and other permission-stuff is explained there). if you don't need all the stuff explained there then it's easiest to set safe_mode=Off in your php.ini . maybe you can re-enable safe-mode if you have enough experience and got smarty working in (un-)safe-mode.

BTW: it's not good to put a phpinfo()-page public. it's not a security issue per se, but bad bored people can get info about your webserver and you operating etc. by it, and can use this info at a starting point to break in your system.

Okay, ill test it in unsafe mode.

The errors is ther no more, with safe_mode off.

All i can hope for now, is some code so i can test that is works 100% so i can start making some fun with the Smarty system.

Thanks Again for good help.

Hi,

I want to use one centralized smarty instalation (base system + plugins + modifikators...) for several php aplications on the same server. SAFE_MODE is on. Smarty and plugins directory are under safe_mode_include_dir (which allows including, *but not reading*).
But smarty uses is_readable() method for loading plugins, which returns false (since file owners do not match in safe mode), which is bad.

Is there some solution?

this looks like a bug in php to me.

http://php.net/is_readable explicitely states: "Safe mode limitations are not taken into account."
