i try smarty on a server where a caching program is installed. this seems to be a problem for smarty because it doesn't work, when the caching program is enabled. i get following error:
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 16 in /test/smarty/smarty/Smarty_Compiler.class.php on line 402
if i copy the smartycopiler-class again on the server the first page runs but not the following ones.
is there any solution, exept of turning the caching program of? all i tried until now failed.
thanks

Smarty works fine with caching programs -- actually, they recommended as Smarty shows marked improvement when they are used.

Remember: don't copy your temporary files (cached/compiled) from one server to the other. Also, make sure that your source files have the correct line-endings for the target system (so if you are moving from windows to linux, you may have to convert the files).

Perhaps someone else can better tell what is going on, but if not, post some more details.

Good luck,

i dont't use smarty's cache (i have no directory cache created) and i deleted all files from template_c. i copied from one linux server to another with putty.
smarty canot create the compiled files.
most variables given to the function preg_match (where the error occurs) are empty exept the template_tag.

the caching program can just be turned on or off. it is not possible to tell the caching program not to cache my files.

what kind of information do you need? i have a test-server where the caching program isn't installed. and there it works.
if the caching program on the other is turned of it also works fine, but turning the caching program on, it doesn't work any more. is there anything i have to configure different?

Well, how about the name of the caching program? Version numbers of the various softwares and OS, etc. Do I have to spell it out? How do you know it works when caching is turned off if you said caching can not be turned off? etc...

the caching program is turck-mmcache.
im not the administrator of the server, but he turned caching of and then it works. when he turns it on again it doesn't work.
i use smarty version 2.6.2
php version 5.0.1

I apologize for being short with you there.

As for mmcache, I'm under the impression that you need to compile a version from 2.4.7-CVS to work properly with any recent build of PHP4 or PHP5. At least, I haven't had luck with older versions of mmcache either but I have had great success with 2.4.7-CVS.
