Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty: unable to write file

[C2S]

Dear members,

 

Like, some other members, I have a problem with the site, currently, nothing works.

The error looks like this:

Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty: unable to write file /home/dinghy/domains/dinghyracingcentre.nl/public_html/cache/smarty/compile/7b/7b/5e/wrt55b8da263645c3_80602249 <-- thrown in /home/dinghy/domains/dinghyracingcentre.nl/public_html/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_write_file.php on line 46

I googled the error and stumbled upon some topics here, it seems that this is a permission issue.

However, changing permission dind't really help.

 

Things Ive tried:

1. cache/smarty , permission is 777, changed in 755 or 655 didnt help.

2. emptied cache. Didnt help.

3. Restored cache, didnt help.

4. The permission for /tools/smarty/sysplugins is 755.
5. Cleared cache of browser, still same issue.

 

 

However, Im not really sure this is related, but about an hour ago I did this:

in Classes/Tools.php

	public static function changeFileMTime($file_name)
	{
		touch($file_name);
	}

changed into

	public static function changeFileMTime($file_name)
	{
	
	}

Could this be related to the issue ?
However the site worked fine.

 

Advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

 

 

PS.

Im using prestashop 1.6
