Sounds like a problem with permissions... make sure your web server is allowed to write to that file (and the whole templates_c directory).

yeah looks like its permissions.... its only the posh template files ( the one im making ) that has this problem, but even if i change skin i cant fix it. mabye i have to try to delete the posh folder and try then.

an update to this problem.

After trying to delete the posh folder i made nothing happend.
I did a complete reinstall off Serendipity and it all worked fine. Just as the time before i got the same problem..

Had a look around and found out that there are alot of files in the template_C folder that are called

Code: Select all

default^%%BA^BAE^BAEF7311%%entries.tpl.php
default^%%B7^B79^B79D30ED%%comments.tpl.php
default^%%9E^9E5^9E53B64F%%commentform.tpl.php

and so on..
When i look at there CHMOD they are all 644. If i try to add the execute by owner ( 744 ) i get this error message from the FTP program

Code: Select all

SITE CHMOD 744 default^%%3F^3F8^3F89E573%%index.tpl.php
550 Could not change perms on default^%%3F^3F8^3F89E573%%index.tpl.php: Bad file descriptor

In the admin panel i get this error when i press one of the plugins.

Code: Select all

Cannot write to directory /home/lepus1/public_html/blog//plugins/. Please check the permissions.Error: serendipity_event_contactform:3c6b96313cbed0530972766bc4fa300c (serendipity_event_contactform)

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/lepus1/public_html/blog/include/admin/plugins.inc.php on line 665

Hope anyone can help with this,

Cheers,

The first error you get is because your FTP programm has problems with files containing a "%". Use a better client for this. You may even need to switch the FTP server software as some FTP servers do not support "%".

The last problem can definitely only happen if your plugins/ directory is not 777.

Best regards,
