Weird .Tpl error?

I edited my poweredby.tpl file in Dreamweaver in order to add a line. It used to be:

Code:

{* $Id: poweredby.tpl,v 1.4 2002/08/20 13:16:29 zorg Exp $ *}

<center>

[img]{$ImagesDir}/powered.gif[/img]

</center>

And I want it to be:

Code:

{* $Id: poweredby.tpl,v 1.4 2002/08/20 13:16:29 zorg Exp $ *}

<center>

[img]{$ImagesDir}/powered.gif[/img]

[img]http://sales.starcitygames.com/images/instantssl_site_seal.gif[/img]

</center>

However, I edited it in Dreamweaver, uploaded it, and then got this error on the main page at sales.starcitygames.com:

Warning: Smarty error: problem writing '../templates_c/N17/N1700694/0.php.' in /home2/starcart/public_html/Smarty-2.1.1/Smarty.class.php on line 546

I've tried reuploading the old file, and transferring it via ASCII just in case, but nothing stops this rather annoying error message - and to add insult to injury, IT DOESN'T EVEN SHOW THE OTHER IMAGE. I've even tried restarting the Apache service, but it's the same error.

Anyone know why this is? And how do I revert it?

Did you try the restore button on the template edit page?

also dont use hard coded urls as this will cause problems with the https server.

reference your images like this

Code:

[img]{$ImagesDir}/instantssl_site_seal.gif[/img]

and keep your images in the skin1/images folder

Alas, I'm running version 3.2.1, and the only option I have is to restore ALL templates, which is distinctly not what I want to do....

Ah, so THAT'S where other sites' errors about "This page contains secure and insecure items" comes from! Thanks for the heads-up. Shall do.

But any suggestions as to what not to do when the "restore" button is not an option in 3.2.1?
