Hi,

stupid question:

Did you really set correct permissions in templates? On a bad day this
is what happens to me usually.

What does your PHP-error-log tells you?

One remark: Setting all Smarty dirs to "template" might pose a security
risk, because people might be able to read raw templates etc. i.e.
stuff they normaly are not allowed to see at all...
