Cannot Delete CiviEvent Registrations

[jyotirmaya]

I have just installed civiCRM 2.01 on drupal 5.7 and set up an event.
I am unable to delete any event registrations - keep getting the following error:

* user warning: Smarty error: problem creating directory '/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/anandamarga.org.uk/subdomains/members/httpdocs/files/civicrm/templates_c/en_US/en_US/%%CF/CF6' in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/anandamarga.org.uk/subdomains/members/httpdocs/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/Smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095.

is this a rights issue?

Generally this is a directory permissions problem. I'd recommend searching this forum (and doing a Google search) on the error message.

ok - this was down to rights on the files/civicrm/...folders I managerd to change these and create a new templates folder with 0777 access to  use for custom templates - working okay now.
