When I attempt to use administer CiviCRM I get the following error:

Warning: Smarty error: problem creating directory 'e:/hosting' in E:\hosting\member\jas56\administrator\components\com_civicrm\civicrm\packages\Smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1095

$civicrm_root is set as follows:

$civicrm_root = 'e:\hosting\member\jas56\administrator\components\com_civicrm\civicrm';
define( 'CIVICRM_TEMPLATE_COMPILEDIR', 'e:\\hosting\\member\\jas56\\media\\civicrm\\templates_c\\' );

I have checked that open_basedir is set to none.

I am using php 5.2.0

All appropriate folder have the correct permissions set.

I do not understand why it is trying to create the directory 'e:/hosting'.

I have read thru all the posts about this error, still can't deternine how to resolve my issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.
