0.9-beta1 templates-directory

hi there,

before installing the 0.9-beta1-version, on the pre-installation-check, he told me that the directory called

Code: Select all

/serendipity/templates_c/
is not writeable. Looking at the file-system I have seen, there is only a directory called

Code: Select all

/serendipity/templates
. That's a bug, I guess.

So I just renamed the directory in "templates_c". And now he tells me
"Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "" in D:\Homepage\serendipity\bundled-libs\Smarty\libs\Smarty.class.php on line 1088"
which is - I've already learned reading through this forum - because the directory "templates" or one of the files in it are not writeable. But this can't be true, because otherwhise he wouldn't have let me install it after the pre-installation-check, would he?

So, what I guess is that in the code the directory

Code: Select all

serendipity/templates_c 
is still written as

Code: Select all

serendipity/templates
somewhere. Is it wise to just look through it and change that? Or can't this be the case?
I will do it and change it and try and afterwards maybe post some news.

erm... lol... ;)

The ./templates/ directory was correct.
You simply had to create a new directory called "./templates_c" and make it writeable for the server.

So, please rename "templates_c" again back to "templates", then create a new directory, called "templates_c" and then make both rekursively writeable for the server.

Then try to start the instalation again.
