Thanks for the .

Now I set the permission to 777 and it works. I overlooked this because in
my earlier server the permission was set "775", but the owner was set to
"apache".

Would you advise setting the permission as "775" and set the owner as
"apache"?

Thanks for your security remark. Let me set the "compile_dir" as
"/templates_c" and set the permission as 777. What should be the permission
for "/templates"?

Thanks
Vignesh.

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...
