I have been developing a website using smarty on my local (linux)
server. It has been working OK so far. I have a file called setup.php
which includes:

************************************************** *
define('SMARTY_DIR', '/usr/share/php/smarty/libs/');
require(SMARTY_DIR . 'Smarty.class.php');

class Smarty_Test extends Smarty {

function Smarty_Website(){

$this->Smarty();
$this->template_dir = '/var/www/html/foobar/public_html/templates';
$this->compile_dir = '/var/www/html/foobar/public_html/templates_c';
$this->config_dir = '/var/www/html/foobar/public_html/configs';
$this->cache_dir = '/var/www/html/foobar/public_html/cache';

$this->caching = true;
$this->assign('app_name', 'test');
}
}
************************************************** *

This file is required() by the index.php page.

However, when I tried moving all the directories (cache, config,
template, template_c) and associated files except the index.php page
to one level above public_html (../) I get the following error
message:

(Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "type1.tpl" in
/usr/share/php/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1088)

"type1.tpl" is my index.tpl page.

I changed the references from...

$this->template_dir = '/var/www/html/foobar/public_html/templates';
$this->compile_dir = '/var/www/html/foobar/public_html/templates_c';
$this->config_dir = '/var/www/html/foobar/public_html/configs';
$this->cache_dir = '/var/www/html/foobar/public_html/cache';

to...
$this->template_dir = '/var/www/html/foobar/templates';
$this->compile_dir = '/var/www/html/foobar/templates_c';
$this->config_dir = '/var/www/html/foobar/configs';
$this->cache_dir = '/var/www/html/foobar/cache';

Is there another configuration that needs to be changed that I am not
thinking about? Again, this works fine before trying to move the
directories.

Any ideas?

I suggest you make the above self-determining or at least define a
constant like SMARTY_DIR in your config to point to the root of your
smarty data dirs.

I assume that your not moving the files in cache and templates_c - I'd
let them be auto-regenerated.

the permissions, as someone else pointed out, is a good point to consider.

Thanks for all the input.

I think I may have figured out my problem. The function
"Smarty_Website" is a constructor and needs to be the same name as the
class "Smarty_Test", which it is not. I changed the names to be the
same and it now appears to locate the moved directories.

I still have a problem with the permissions, and must set the
directories (cache and templete_c) to 777. The documentation
suggests that I can use 775, but my user and group are assigned to my
user account and not the web-server user name.
