    Default Error Message (Fatal)

    I tried to do a fresh install since my upgrade did not work at all. After install I get this error:

    Fatal error: Smarty error: the $compile_dir '/home/photolot/public_html//templates_c' does not exist, or is not a directory. in /home/photolot/public_html/lib/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1088

    Here is my setup:

    $site_url = "http://photolot.com/";
    $base_path = "/home/photolot/public_html/";
    $theme_path = $base_path . "themes/";
    $admin_template_path = $base_path . "admin_tpl/";

    I noticed the following:

    I downloaded the frezz template from your template site. When I go to enable the tempalte throught the CP, I get the error above and I notice that the templates_c directory is deleted.

    In fact I then went and tried to make the default tempalte acitve and the same thing happens.

    Any ideas?

    if it does not exist, then create it. and it probably needs to be writeable. chmod to 777.

    Yeah, I already did that. The problem is each time I change the theme I get the error and that directory gets deleted each time.

    Do you mean each time you switch the theme set? Say you have 2 theme set, kosmos and abcd. Each time you make set active another template it produce such error?
