Help!!! PHP expertise needed

Hi people. I cant find my directory. This is the messase I get from the browser:
Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "../CORE_TEMPLATES/messages.tpl" in /home/webbo/public_html/directorycoin/libs/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

 

check your file permission of "../CORE_TEMPLATES/messages.tpl"

CHMOD it to be readable

 

hmm, i think the CORE_TEMPLATES part is a constant, but it seemed that it did not reflect the value assigned to it..

 

The strange thing is, it has happened to all three urls on this server. the same error message. What am i susppoed to look for specifically? When I follow right to the page mentioned, I cant see anything unusual.my coding skills are limited

 

well, it's quite hard to make a pretty accurate solution because there's not really much detail, but i think rahmat also have a point, please check if you have the correct folder permissions

 

what will I be looking for? Can I send you the file? and because the scripts are differrent why is it happening to all three urls? any clue?
Thanks for your time.S

 

hmm, i cant really tell you exactly what to look for, but the easiest way to know the folder permissions is to fire up your ftp client and check the folder permissions of your site specially the one for the core_templates since its the one spewing all the error, permission for your dir should be 664 or 777(although this is probably a security risk)

 

Thanks. I will try right away and I will post the results here. I will be back in a few minutes.Thanks.

 

I am back. I have checked here: ".._TEMPLATES/CORE/messages.tpl"
But I cant locate the permission as you advised. Any more clues please?

Rahmat/ serialcoder, anyone willing to engage me in PM discussion with a view of trading off some kind of payment/service for correcting this error? PM me.S

 

hmm, what ftp client are you using?

 

I do everything on cPanel.

 

did this just happened(your files are already setup and it just got broken)? or is this the first time you have run the scripts?

 

This just happened this morning. Yesterday I changed my Cpanel. I saw nothing wrong. the sites were up and running. Then today I got this message. Dpo you think somebody hacked the server of course I am stretching my imagination here -paranoid me, I can't think of a reason why it happened. Or the licenses for the scripts were not properly paid for? ondering just aloud.S

 

I meant"Yesterday I changed my Cpanel pasword".
Sorry, i left out these words.

 

hehe, yeah maybe thinking of being hacked is a stretch, but i think i already know the problem, do you know how to setup the config of smarty?

 

Nope.If it is what I am thinking about.

 

Your problem probably lies in your smarty config, the path is probably set to an absolute system filepath, which makes it incorrect because your config is suited to your old server

 

May be. The only thing I changed was my password. The user name is the same, same server etc. My take is that this change of password should have been accepted automatically. I could be wrong. The server has accepted the new login though.s

 

hi

i can help if you can pay me
