Hi.
On the begin- I'm searching, I'm trying... but i have still this:
Fatal error: Smarty error: unable to write to $compile_dir '/var/www/html/templates_c'. Be sure $compile_dir is writable by the web server user. in /var/www/html/Smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1092

Plise, talk to me as to man, who can't speak english... as you see, I'm not good in this language Wink

Thanks Smile

make sure /var/www/html/templates_c is writable by the user apache is running as. If you don't care how open it is:

Code:
chmod 777 /var/www/html/templates_c


would do it, any user can write then.

Did you ever get this resolved? Since it's 6 1/2 years old I imagine so, but there's no solution posted.

The resolution is quite simple and not relevant to Smarty.
One way or another, but writing to compile directory is blocked.
You have to resolve it on your end, either by providing a writable compile_dir, or configure your PHP and filesystem to allow writing to an already configured one.
