smarty template - unable to write to $compile_dir

[cshih16@yahoo.com]

my php file contains:
$smarty->template_dir = BASE_DIR.'templ ates/';
$smarty->compile_dir = BASE_DIR.'templ ates_c/';

but still get error: unable to write to $compile_dir
'/home/templates_c'. Be sure $compile_dir is writable by the web server
user

what goes wrong? how to fix?

thanks a lot!

The permissions are incorrect; modify to 777 to fix:

$ chmod 777 templates_c

Also, see the Smarty README and INSTALL files when provided.
