I´m so helpless.....
(always those newbies....)

I´m running XAMPP and followed the instruction for installing. Serendipity tells me everything is fine and i can now visit my new blog, but instead of my new blog i get a

Warning: Smarty::include(E://abeckz/serendipity/templates_c\carl_contest^%%97^971^971D6F7E%%index.tpl.php) [function.Smarty-include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:\ABeckz\serendipity\bundled-libs\Smarty\libs\Smarty.class.php on line 1251

there is no file called carl_contest^%%97^971^971D6F7E%%index.tpl.php
in that particular directory.

What have I done wrong? I used chmod to grant all rights for "E://abeckz/serendipity/templates_c"

I can´t get it.....

Hi!

How did you configure the paths in your serendipity configuration? Make sure there always only "/" in the paths, never ever a "\"!

Best regards,

Hi,

I didn´t configure any paths in Serendipity. Took the easy install. But the paths in the pro install are all correct /. But professional install doesn´t work either.

Is there such a file called

carl_contest^%%97^971^971D6F7E%%index.tpl.php

in YOUR serendipity version?

Thanks Garvin.....

Hi!

The files in templates_c are created automatically by Smarty. So smarty is complaining that it cannot create that file. You did check write permissions on "templates_c", right?

If you go to your s9y configuration panel, and look at the "Paths" setup section, are there really no "\" characters? It must come from somewhere...

Best regards,
Garvin
