Fatal error: Smarty error: unable to write to $compile_dir '/home/broaycom/public_html/templates_c'. Be sure $compile_dir is writable by the web server user. in /home/broaycom/public_html/include/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1088


this happened after I tried running the latest update and then tried to delete the update and use my backup files after update failed.

What the error says is program can't write to folder /home/broaycom/public_html/templates_c

Make sure you have the folder "/home/broaycom/public_html/templates_c'" present in your web site, also it is writable by PHP script (on most servers do chmod 777).

I thought the same thing so I went to templates_c and did chmod to 777 also went to look for $compile_dir but couldn't find it in in /home/broaycom/public_html/include/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php
so i did a chmod 777 to smarty.class.php and that didn't make a difference either.

I've got a programmer now trying to figure out the mess and now having him try to run the update for me if he can fix my website. If not I'll be back here with more questions later today.
