Smarty Template problem with Caching files

[dkode]

I seem to be having a problem when I attempt to turn on caching:

Warning: mkdir() failed (Permission denied) in /usr/local/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1462

Warning: Smarty error: problem creating directory "cache/183/1836865061" in /usr/local/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 546

Warning: Smarty error: problem writing 'cache/183/1836865061/N1025629230.php.' in /usr/local/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 546

the directory it is attempting to write to is templates_c/

this directory has permissions: 777, the directory is owned by user and group nobody (same as webserver)

although it is still giving me an error?

if I dont remember wrong you should have a directory called cache as well when you turn on caching.
try to create it and chmod to 777 *check out configuration file for exact name for caching*

this was correct. I needed a cache folder owned by nobody.nobody

I also had to go into Smarty.class.php and turn on caching P

Thank you!

It's better if you extend smarty with your own class where you override the values such as the cache / templates / templates_c rather than changing Smarty.class.php. This will make it easy for you to upgrade Smarty, or share Smarty for other applications.

I love Smarty

I've been starting to use it on all the sites i make now. It's so handy to seperate out all the processing.

Does anyone have any large websites/database driven websites with smarty? If so can someone show their code. I am still trying to grasp certain aspects of smarty as it is very in depth.
