Smarty Permission Issues

Question

Smarty complains about permissions. I wrote a small mvc framework for a project that I am working on, and I need to be able to display patterns in each controller. I went ahead and followed Smarty installation instructions and set all the configuration parameters in my “front controller” or page that directs requests to the rest of the application. The testinstall function says that everything is kosher, but when I try to display patterns in my controllers, I get this.

Warning: mkdir (): permission denied in / var / www / HRTRL / includes / CallLog / lib / Smarty / libs / sysplugins / smarty _internal_write_file.php on line 28 Warning: renaming (/TMP/wrt6piczo,/templates_c/73b1662b4c376f493243f34934ffb34f9f9f9f9 .poopy.tpl.php.): there is no such file or directory in / var / www / HRTRL / includes / CallLog / lib / Smarty / libs / sysplugins / smarty _internal_write_file.php on line 48 Warning: chmod (): There are no such files or directory in / var / www / HRTRL / includes / CallLog / lib / Smarty / libs / sysplugins / smarty _internal_write_file.php on line 50 Warning: include (./templates_c/73b1662b4c376f493278f9873564df03430a0b43.file.poopy.plopy.plopy Could not open stream: there is no such file or in the directory / var / www / HRTRL / includes / CallLog / lib / Smarty / libs / sysplugins / smar ty _internal_template.php on line 423 Warning: include (): Failed opening './templates_c/73b1662b4c376f493278f9873564df03430a0b43.file.poopy.tpl.php' to enable (Include_path = ': / USR / share / PHP: / USR / share / pear ') in / var / www / HRTRL / includes / CallLog / lib / Smarty / libs / sysplugins / smarty _internal_template.php on line 423

I tested the rest of my framework independently and everything seems to work. My front controller correctly directs the right controllers, and I seem to be able to render plain HTML just fine.

In addition, I used chmodded all the Smarty library folders, as well as other necessary directories for 777 for testing only. I am still getting the same permission errors.

EDIT

These are the settings that I used for all of the required smarty folders.

$smarty->setTemplateDir('lib/smarty/templates'); $smarty->setCompileDir('lib/smarty/templates_c'); $smarty->setCacheDir('lib/smarty/cache'); $smarty->setConfigDir('lib/smarty/configs'); 

Answer 1

Could there be a problem with relative paths? Could you add the full paths for installing **** Dir, so you will be sure that you are using the correct locations.

If you call this from /specialdir/thisdirhasonlyaPHPfile/file.php, you may have problems.

Answer 2

The correct permissions solved this for me:

 chown -R www-data /var/www/HRTRL 

Answer 3

For everyone who deals with permissions with Smarty after doing all of the above (checking config / chown / chmod, etc.). We encountered a problem running Smarty on SE (Security Enhanced) Linux.

Compilation directories / caches were subdirectories inside the ~ / tmp directory.

The default targeting policy prevents writing to tmp directories.

The Senate can be used to update contexts / policies. Most likely, you will need to create a new policy to assign the httpd_sys_rw_content_t context to the directory that your web application needs to write.

Answer 4

You must again check the write permissions. I had the same errors, so I set the permissions for 777 for the templates_c folder and something inside, and now it works. However, I had to repeat this operation 3 times in Filezilla, I do not know why it did not immediately change the permissions.

Answer 5

According to the documentation, the permission of the "template_c" folder should be 775. But this will not work. You must set its permission to 777.

Answer 6

Just comment on the next line from the index.php file.

 $smarty->caching = true; 

This will solve your problem.
