Smarty

[Marco]

Hello,

I am recieving several core.write_file.php errors (see below) with Smarty 2.6.1.

I can not reproduce the errors every time.
They just occur approximately one out of 25 times.

Does someone know how to fix this problem?

Thank You,
Marco Wayop

Permission denied , check the perms in your $compile_dir.

Hello electrOn,

thanks for your reply.

The webserver is also running on my Localhost where I have ALL permissions, so I don't believe it is a folder permission problem.

The chmod error occures on linenumber 44 in core.write.
@chmod($params['filename'], $smarty->_file_perms);

This eror probably occures because I am running the webserver on a Windows machine, instead of a unix based machine.

I still don't know how to fix this error and the remaining errors.
I have a sense the 'file exists' error is caused by Smarty, because it does not generate unique names with use_sub_dirs = false

Smarty shoudl also work with Windows, hm what happens if you delete the line?

My IIS skills are rusty, but it really sounds like a permission issue. Chances are that the impersonated IIS user and the user attempting to make those changes have different rights.

If you try those changes from a script running under the same IUSR account, do you get the same issues?

I am using Apache (and not IIS) with php and my versions are up to date.

I discovered when Smarty generates the error below the compiled file really doesn't exists. When I refresh my browser it suddenly works.
So sometimes I get the error, but not always.......

I'm flabbergasted.....

hmmm. I wonder if this is a race condition on a temporary file.

Can you give more details? eg: are you using absolute paths for your configs? open_base_dirs? include paths? etc...

I have never seen this issue and have several production sites that run various versions of apache (1.3.x) on various versions of windows (NT, 2000) using various versions of Smarty (2.2 to present--I've also used older versions without seeing this, but 2.2 is the oldest that I have which is still in production).

hmm, not much to see there. One thing though: try using absolute paths when you set your smarty directories--I have had problems with relative paths (at least on windows).
