 Posted: Wed Oct 06, 2004 4:34 pm Post subject: unable to read template |
 |
|
Hi there,
I hope you can help me. It probably is just a simple mistake of mine but I don't have much experience and running out of ideas. 
I have installed and copied my locally functioning Smarty 2.6.2 website on my rented webspace and got the following error when I tried to access my index page.
| Code: | | Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "index.tpl.html" in /www/htdocs/trailhun/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1102 |
The layout directories and the contained files have permission 770. My directories look like that:
- smarty
- content
--- index.php
- layout
--- cache
--- configs
--- templates
--- templates_c
The variables have absolute paths (DOCUMENT_ROOT = /www/htdocs/trailhun/) like it is recommended by mohrt in thread unable to read resource.
| Code: |
$this->template_dir = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].'layout/templates/';
$this->compile_dir = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].'layout/templates_c/';
$this->config_dir = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].'layout/configs/';
$this->cache_dir = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].'layout/cache/';
|
Some facts about the webserver:
Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/4.3.9
Does anyone have an idea ...? |

Does this file exist and readable by the web server user?
/www/htdocs/trailhun/layout/templates/index.tpl.html
You can probably test this directly since everything is installed under document root:
http://www.mydomain.com/layout/templates/index.tpl.html
See if anything shows up. |

That was a fast reply, thanks!
After changing permissions from 770 to 775, the template showed up in the browser.
Afterwards I tried index.php again and got a different error message:
| Code: | | atal error: Smarty error: unable to write to $compile_dir '/www/htdocs/trailhun/layout/templates_c'. Be sure $compile_dir is writable by the web server user. in /www/htdocs/trailhun/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1102 |
I also set permissions for folder templates_c to 775. That had no effect. Then I set it to 777 and tried index.php one more time. Now it says:
| Code: | | Fatal error: Call to undefined function: smarty_core_write_file() in /www/htdocs/trailhun/smarty/core/core.write_compiled_resource.php on line 30 |
Hmm ... I hope that's a step forward!  |

OK, I have just seen, that core.write_file.php hasn't been uploaded properly. I don't get error messages anymore but have other problems. (Header and footer are not included.)
But to get back to the original problem. I thought it would be sufficient to set everything to 770. It says so in the documentation. |

| Quote: | | Technical Note: chmod 770 will be fairly tight security, it only allows user "nobody" and group "nobody" read/write access to the directories. If you would like to open up read access to anyone (mostly for your own convenience of viewing these files), you can use 775 instead. |
Sure, you can use 770 but your webserver will have to be configured to use the appropriate user. Here's a trick: create the subdirs from a PHP script with 770 that way the "correct" user ought have the appropriate privledges. |
