 |
|
Why would i need to do that? Is there an odd configuration or soemthing not set properly?
So every change I make to a template causes me to have to restart apache. Make a new tag and I get an error so I restart and its fine, until I have to do it again. |

Could this be a caching problem? Try using this:
$this->caching = false;
I had similar problems. You can turn it back on once you are out of development/testing phases. |

Of course not. Can you be more specific as to the errors you are getting? Versions of PHP/Smarty you are using? What OS? What extensions? Etc? |

Errors are pretty much bogus errors, having to do with "unrecognized tag"
[client xx.xx.xx.xx] PHP Fatal error: Smarty error: [in index.tpl line 1]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: config_load file="config.conf" (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 436) in /usr/share/Smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095.
This code works, then I make an edit to the tpl file and I get the unrecognized tag error until I restart Apache, each and every time, and even if its something small like adding a period or some other non smarty or php code to the tpl page. |

A PHP fatal error is not a server abend and shouldn't require a restart. It seems that you don't have your plugins directory set properly for one. For two, why are you putting php code in your templates?
At this point it seems your code is doing something wrong. It is certainly not the norm so I suggest to you to post an example of code that demonstrates this behaviour.
Greetings. |

Actually I have seen several examples of this in the forum, thats where I got the idea to restart to "fix" the problem.
Sorry didnt mean php code as there is no php code in the templates, it does occur any time I add anything to a template, any html, js, css, text, anything to a tpl file it will fail and I will have to restart apache. |

What would you like to know.
Setup has Smarty in /usr/share/Smarty.
Setup of site and templates is:
http://www.domain.com/site1
http://www.domain.com/site2
http://www.domain.com/site3
http://www.domain.com/site4
http://www.domain.com/site5
site(X)/index.php
| Code: |
require('/usr/share/Smarty/Smarty.class.php');
$smarty = new Smarty();
$smarty->compile_check = true;
$smarty->debugging = true;
$subdir = array_shift(preg_split('|/|', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 0,PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY));
$smarty->template_dir = '/home/site/domain.com/htdocs/smarty/templates';
$smarty->compile_dir = '/home/site/domain.com/htdocs/smarty/templates_c/'.$subdir;
$smarty->cache_dir = '/home/site/domain.com/htdocs/smarty/cache/'.$subdir;
$smarty->config_dir = '/home/site/domain.com/htdocs/smarty/configs';
include_once('/home/site/domain.com/php/config_news.php');
include_once('/home/site/domain.com/php/main_functions.php');
include_once('config.php');
$FP=frontPage($site_id);
$smarty->assign('Newspaper', $name);
$smarty->assign('Logo_Img', '/images/'.$subdir.'_logo.gif');
$smarty->assign('FP_Img', '/images/'.$subdir.'/'.$FP['imageName'].'');

Hi.
Well, I was hoping for something less involved but...there is nothing there that I see that would make your server crash in any way assuming it is setup and configured properly. I notice that you haven't setup your plugins dir but probably should (especially since you use the config_load plugin).
Probably just typos/transcription errors but why: "htdocs/smarty/configs.config.conf"? I suppose you mean "htdocs/smarty/configs/config.conf" and that you also mean {config_load file="config.conf"} instead of {config_load file="BLah.conf"}.
Other than that it looks fine (well, except for the HTML, but that's your thing to hack on  -- but I really suggest you don't put any whitespace before the DOCTYPE declaration -- some browsers automatically go into quirks mode if you do.)
I'd love to know why you have to restart apache when you change a template. Is there an error (either PHP or Apache) other than the PHP/Smarty one you gave earlier? Because that error shouldn't imply a restart. |

These are the two errors that I consistently get, and the only two errors.
| Quote: |
[client 67.151.38.170] PHP Warning: preg_match() [<a href='function.preg-match'>function.preg-match</a>]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 17 in /usr/share/Smarty/Smarty_Compiler.class.php on line 435
[client 67.151.38.170] PHP Fatal error: Smarty error: [in index.tpl line 1]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: config_load file="config.conf" (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 436) in /usr/share/Smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095 |
I will get this until I bounce apache, then I dont get any Warnings, Errors, Notices or anything.
I have noticed one thing that leads me to believe its a complile or cache issue. As I mentioned earlier the site1-5 run the same code, run the same index.tpl the only difference is the config.php and index.php for each site is in the site(X) directory. When I go to domain.com/site1 and restart and reload the site loads fine, I have noticed now that when I go to site2 I have to restart, and so on and so forth until I have gone to each site.
So http://www.domain.com/site1/index.php the first time will not display anything, refresh and its fine. Click over to http://www.domain.com/site2/index.php the first time (right after visiting site1) and it will not display anything until I restart, refresh and its fine. So on and so forth. |

Are you even trying to debug your issue? Did you try getting a stack trace (xdebug can help with that)
I've just gone through the trouble of reproducing what you have posted and as expected, it works perfectly fine on my test machine running PHP 5.1.4/Smarty 2.6.14/Apache 1.3.35 (please always include your setup info).
Your problem is something else, I don't know what. Try making sure that permissions are set properly, that your configurations are up to date, that you have everything installed (including the plugins!) and that you are using up-to-date versions of the software.
Good luck, but I don't think I can help you at this point.
Best regards. |

Yes of course I did, and I dont get any debug popup when the page fails.

You can view my PHP setup here: http://elauwit.mccullough-net.com/info.php
Smarty is the lastest and greatest. Version 2.6.14

Everything is installed, everything has permissions that are correct. What seems to happen is template_c/site1 and site2 will have the compiled php files, but then site3-5 wont. So there seems to be an issue with templates compiling, yet I have left template_c wide open, and I have double and triple checked the permissions and users.

I found the problem.
Turck MMCache was complied into PHP so I had to comment out the loaded module in php.ini
If you cant comment out the MMcache module due to other sites running MMcache then you can easily add an .htaccess file with the php_values
| Quote: | php_flag mmcache.enable "0"
php_flag mmcache.optimizer "0" |

Glad you got it sorted. It just had to be something else
Best. |
