Smarty Fatal Error? HELP!!!
 

I just set up X-CART on my site and everything checked out fine in the install, but then at the end when it said to preview it, it came up with this error:

Fatal error: Failed opening required '//Smarty-2.3.0/Smarty_Compiler.class.php' (include_path='') in //Smarty-2.3.0/Smarty.class.php on line 1084

This comes up whenever I try accessing the customer directory or any other page. I wrote support last night and they wrote back with:

That means PHP module can not include a file with Smarty class and you should correct include_path setting in php.ini. Try to set it to:

include_path = ".:.."

Unfortunately, I cannot modify the php.ini file. Is there any other way around this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure the Smarty-2.3.0/ directory exists under the root of the xcart/ install. Compare it with your .tgz file contents, you should be able to open it with winrar, or such.

The require_once(); in line 1084 of Smarty.class contains a require for the .class but doesn't find it, so make sure its intact and you shouldn't be having a problem.

Did you get any [ERRORS] upon install?

hth. ;)

Hello BOOMER,

THANK YOU for responding! When I installed the only thing that didn't say OK, was the magic quotes. When I started getting this error, I deleted the Smarty directory, and uploaded it in WS_FTP as auto detect mode.

The Smarty-2.3.0 folder is located inside of the main cart install directory.

Any other ideas?

perhaps the magic quotes is causing the problem im not really sure, but you may hafta get to php.ini regardless. ;)

I turned magic_quotes on via an htaccess file in the cart directory. I deleted everything and did a fresh install and when it ran the checks, everything turned out OK this time. I then installed it via the Command Line after unpacking the tar file.

It is still coming up with this error. I would think there has to be a way around this because I image that most of the users of X-CART do not have a server just for their site so there must be some other way.

I was told in a ticket last night that it isn't working because of the following:

That means PHP module can not include a file with Smarty class and you should correct include_path setting in php.ini. Try to set it to:

include_path = ".:.."


However, I can't change the php.ini file because it would affect hundreds of accounts and I don't want to mess anything up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Default include_path is:

include_path .:/usr/local/lib/php

and I have no problems, what is your include_path set to?

Here is what mine is set to:

include_path .:/usr/local/lib/php

I have no clue then. 8O

AHHH! I need to get this working tonight and I can't wait until Monday for a reply from support.

This sucks!

Thanks for your help though. I appreciate you trying to give some suggestions.

You could maybe try and poke around on http://smarty.php.net mailinglists and docs and such. hth. ;)

OK....Thanks, I'll have to check it out.
