Fatal error on upgrade to Serendipity 0.8-alpha11

Hello.

Something went wrong during upgrade. My index page now says the following:

Fatal error: Smarty error: unable to write to $compile_dir '/home/jeffblog/public_html/templates_c'. Be sure $compile_dir is writable by the web server user. in /home/jeffblog/public_html/bundled-libs/Smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1084

I am able to access the admin panel and everything else (except index) seems to work. Help please.

Thank you.

P.S. Permissions are set to 777 so I am not sure about the can't write message, although on initial try I think I forgot to make directory writable.

You sure that the permissions on the 'templates_c' directory are 777?

Regards,

Hmm. Silly me. I was chmoding 'public_html' thinking that was getting all the subdirectories. That was an easy fix. - Thanks!
