Serendipity Forums

I am trying to install serendipity on two different servers and have them access one database (the same tables) on one of the servers. Thus, I want to have one blog on two different sites (and servers). It seems possible, but after I install the second s9y blog I get this error:

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "" in /mydomain.com/serendipity/bundled-libs/Smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1088

What does this mean? I'm not familiar with smarty, so I'm not sure if this is something I can get around.

Thanks in advance for your help!

This error usually only happens when your templates_c directory does not exist or is not writable!

Hi Garvin, thanks for replying!

hmm...Both blogs have writable template_c directories. But after looking at them I see that blog #2 doesn't seem to like .CVSIGNORE files. I copy them over and they just disappear. Could this be the problem? What are these files?

No, that shouldn't be the reason; "dot files" sometimes are hidden by the FTP server or FTP client; they shouldn't be causing this.

I only know this error in conjunction with wrong file/directory permissions or when the bundled-libs/Smarty/ directory was not copied/extracted properly.
