Hey guys. I have sucesfully installed CMSMS on many cpanel accounts with linux based hosting.  But I'm having trouble installing on Windows XP.  The problem I'm having is with the smarty template.  Here are the type of errors I'm receiving:

Warning: Smarty::include(C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cms\cmsmadesimple\tmp\templates_c\%%C4^C43^C43F3191%%installer_start.tpl.php) [smarty.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cms\cmsmadesimple\lib\smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1258

Warning: Smarty::include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cms\cmsmadesimple\tmp\templates_c\%%C4^C43^C43F3191%%installer_start.tpl.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\smarty\libs') in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cms\cmsmadesimple\lib\smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1258

I have successfully installed other php and mysql based applications on IIS, but this one is pretty tough. Could anyone point me to some articles or give me some recommendations?

Thanks

Okay, I figured out the problem with Smarty. It was just permission problems.  But now I'm having trouble with passing the HTTPD check to create files inside directories.  Here's the error I'm receiving:

Checking if the httpd process can create a file inside of a directory it created.

The HTTP Process owner cannot create a file inside a directory that it owns. This probably means that safe mode is enabled in some way. Many functions inside CMS made simple will not operate properly without this ability. Continuing is not possible.

I'm running Windows XP Pro with IIS with all the latest releases.

Thanks!

Nevermind guys.. Everything was just permissions problems.  It's funny how its so easy to install php applications through cpanel on linux hosting, but when trying to implement this in Windows (which I've been working with for years and years) is so difficult. But anyways, I got it working.

By the way, CMSMS is simply the best!

What permissions did you have to set?
