I've been trying to install with these instructions:
https://www.smarty.net/docs/en/installing.smarty.basic.tpl

I've configured the php.ini file to include the right path. And this script worked in /var/www/html/try_smarty/ -folder:

Code:
<?php
require_once('Smarty.class.php');
$smarty  = new Smarty();
$smarty->testInstall();
?>


Then I made all needed access rights to folders and everything seemed to be all right.
And url was:http://localhost/try_smarty/

But in this point:
Example 2.9. Editing /web/www.example.com/docs/guestbook/index.php

I did the folders mentioned above: docs, questbook and the index.php with this script:

Code:
<?php

require_once(SMARTY_DIR . 'Smarty.class.php');

$smarty = new Smarty();

$smarty->setTemplateDir('/var/www/html/try_smarty/templates/');
$smarty->setCompileDir('/var/www/html/try_smarty/templates_c/');
$smarty->setConfigDir('/var/www/html/try_smarty/configs/');
$smarty->setCacheDir('/var/www/html/try_smarty/cache/');

$smarty->assign('name','Ned');

//** un-comment the following line to show the debug console
$smarty->debugging = true;

$smarty->display('index.tpl');

?>


of course I changed the paths as they are in my linux-pc
but the browser gives the error(url:http://localhost/docs/try_smarty/):


This page isn’t working
localhost is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500

because I had configured the php.ini I put these lines into comments, but it didn't help:

Code:
/*
$smarty->setTemplateDir('/var/www/html/try_smarty/templates/');
$smarty->setCompileDir('/var/www/html/try_smarty/templates_c/');
$smarty->setConfigDir('/var/www/html/try_smarty/configs/');
$smarty->setCacheDir('/var/www/html/try_smarty/cache/');
*/


What went wrong? How the folders should be?

Is the PHP constant SMARTY_DIR defined anywhere?

What wrong? The very first line.
It should have been
Code:
require_once "/where/is/your/smarty/libs/bootstrap.php";


Or even better, use Composer https://getcomposer.org/

OK, not any wonder that it didn't work. Smarty.class.php doesn't contain these functions:

assign()
display()

I did add the library path to the php.ini file, so to set the SMARTY_DIR is unnecessary.

Inadvertently I had it on my code. I fixed it away, but it didn't help because the functions are missing.

That does not make any sense.
