Error Message (Fatal)

[kevinrstruck]

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?

...templates_c' does not exist...

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?

Exactly Dody!
