I've still not found a solution for the template_c directory and after a week I still haven't got a chance to succesfully install x-cart.

This is what my hostingprovider said:

777 permissions, ie. world write privileges are serious security holes. Any
malicious entity could upload content directly into your webspace. Directories
marked as 777 have allowed exploits to be uploaded, compiled, and executed,
thereby, compromising the integrity of the affected server. When PHP is
upgraded to 4.3.2, no file uploads will be possible. We suggest you use
a CGI script to facilitate uploads.

Hey Klass, sounds like you just need to change the file permissions. FTP to your site, browse to the templates_c directory and right click on the directory, browse down to CHMOD (click it) and uncheck the write permissions for groups and others and give it a try. I highly recommend using CuteFTP to go into your site, it has a visual editir if you just follow the steps it should wprk no problem but i don't know if it will solve your problem because my xcart on my development test crash & burn site is set to 777 and i never even noticed before, seems to be working fine, maybe you need to switch servers? hehehehhe
