[Solved] Smarty exception error comes back, even if folders have 777 permissions

[gumol]

Hi there.

 

I am using 1.5.4 Prestashop.

 

So I have similar problem which is mentioned here:

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/191066-solved-white-screen-front-office-white-screen-back-office/

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/347863-php-fatal-error-uncaught-exception-smartyexception/

etc.

 

but I have this error even if 

cache

cache/smarty

cache/smarty/compile

cache/smarty/cache

folders have 777 permissions.

 

The error message:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'SmartyException' with message 'unable to write file /home/webyours/domains/butikdominiki.pl/public_html/cache/smarty/compile/b1/b7/1f/wrt53e0a10d229939.33414266' in /home/webyours/domains/butikdominiki.pl/public_html/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_write_file.php:44 Stack trace: #0 /home/webyours/domains/butikdominiki.pl/public_html/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_template.php(201): Smarty_Internal_Write_File::writeFile('/home/webyours/...', '<?php /* Smarty...', Object(Smarty)) #1 /home/webyours/domains/butikdominiki.pl/public_html/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php(155): Smarty_Internal_Template->compileTemplateSource() #2 /home/webyours/domains/butikdominiki.pl/public_html/classes/controller/FrontController.php(541): Smarty_Internal_TemplateBase->fetch('/home/webyours/...') #3 /home/webyours/domains/butikdominiki.pl/public_html/classes/controller/Controller.php(185): FrontControllerCore->display() #4 /home/webyours/domains/butikdominiki.pl/public_ht in/home/webyours/domains/butikdominiki.pl/public_html/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_write_file.php on line 44

 

 

 

My performance settings (In backoffice Advanced => Performance) are (I use polish interface so it may not be exact translation):

Template cache: Never compile again
Cache: turned off

 

When I delete files and subfolders from cache/smarty/compile error doesn't show, but after few minutes/hours it appears again and breaks specified subpage.

 

Any ideas how to solve this issue? Maybe the problem is with Performance settings?

Hi, 777 is not recommended.

 

Many times this issue is related to improper hosting file ownership setup.

 

If possible contact hosting and ask them if your domain is set up in group as owner.

I got. Issue was not with Prestashop but file count limit in webhosting. Thank you for your help. I mark issue as solved.
