Hi,

I had installed version 8 a few weeks ago with no problem. But when I tried to access the page today, I get this:

Fatal error: Smarty error: unable to write to $compile_dir '/home/mahctag/public_html/ramblings/templates_c'. Be sure $compile_dir is writable by the web server user. in /home/mahctag/public_html/ramblings/bundled-libs/Smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1088

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Code: Select all

$ mkdir -p /home/mahctag/public_html/ramblings/templates_c
$ chmod a+rw /home/mahctag/public_html/ramblings/templates_c

Do you think you could clarify what I'm supposed to do with this code? I'm pretty new to this stuff, and I'm not really sure what to do. Thanks again...

You need to use SSH or your FTP utility to make the folder "templates_c" world writable. Look for a "chmod" or "permission" option in your FTP client.

If you have SSH, you can execute the exact code nohn told you
