cms_stylesheet Smarty Compile process failed

[luya]

I just hit an issue with cms_stylesheet on verion 1.11.5. Here is what Admin log reported:

Code: Select all

Plugin: cms_stylesheet 	Smarty Compile process failed, unable to write cache file

Upgrading to 1.11.6 did not resolve the problem. Any solution is welcome.

Check write permissions temp folders

tmp folder and its children have permission set to 755. I found combined_stylesheet from cache folder has permission set to 644. What will be the safest case?

Edit:
Setting tmp and cache folder to 777, combined_stylesheet refused to generate and admin log report the same message: "Plugin: cms_stylesheet Smarty Compile process failed, unable to write cache file".

Edit:
Added attachment

Here is a path for tmp folder

Code: Select all

tmp 	/home/content/31/9985931/html/stg/tmp (0777)
templates_c  /home/content/31/9985931/html/stg/tmp/templates_c (0777)

Clearing the cache returned this error

Code: Select all

Smarty Compile process failed, unable to write cache file

As return, the css file is blank.

How did you install it, did you unpack the tar.gz in server file manager or FTP folders/files to site, might be an 'owner' problem, is this a windows server..?

[luya]

I locally unpacked the tar.gz before uploading the folders through Filezilla. The server is based on CentOS 6 hosted by GoDaddy.
Edit:
After several reinstalls and disassociated the css, it turned out the bug is related to smartys themselves I used inside the stylesheet hence above error message.

[luya]

After further investigation and testing, the culprit was [[root_url]] inside

Code: Select all

      background: url([[root_url]]/uploads/images/background.png) repeat-y;

.
Reading the documentation about stylesheet, I used this code

Code: Select all

    [[* +++++ SETTINGS +++++ *]]
    [[capture assign='path']][[root_url]]/uploads/template[[/capture]] 
   background: #fff url([[$path]]/bg_body.jpg) repeat-x; 

which fixed the stylesheet error. Can anyone reproduce the problem related to the use of root_url inside background tag? If that happened, I guess I found a bug.
