Smarty Error - Settings Page
March 18, 2012, 12:43:56 pm
Hello -

I've installed CiviCRM without issue and am now going to the settings page to make some changes/user the program. However, I receive the following error:

Warning: Smarty error: problem creating directory.

I tried to post the full error, but the forums keep telling me that I'm not allowed to post external links.

I'm familiar with PHP, HTML, etc...not so much with Smarty templates.  I'm not quite sure if it is just having a problem finding my template folder or if there is a deeper issue.  I'm on PHP 5.2.6, MySQL 5.0+, IIS, and Wordpress 3.3.1.

Thanks for your help!

most likely the error is what is says: Civi/Smarty cannot create the directory. The install typically does check for this, so not sure why it went thru successfully

u might want to check the permissions and ensure that the webserver user can create directories

Thanks for the response - I'll check permissions and see if that solves the issue.  I thought that I had already done that, but there is a good chance that I'm thinking of another website.  Thanks!

Doesn't look like permission changes is going to fix this one.  Any other ideas?
