Errors on fresh installation

[ashleyhall]

Guys,

Just setup the latest package onto our PHP webspace account, once FTP'd I ran through the install process that went perfectly, we were then instructed to view our CMS! (the installation administration procedure functioned fine).

When I tried to view the homepage...I get this...

string(106) "Smarty error: [in template:17 line 9]: [plugin] unknown tag - 'sitename' (core.load_plugins.php, line 123)" string(103) "Smarty error: [in template:17 line 9]: [plugin] unknown tag - 'title' (core.load_plugins.php, line 123)" string(107) "Smarty error: [in template:17 line 12]: [plugin] unknown tag - 'metadata' (core.load_plugins.php, line 123)" string(109) "Smarty error: [in template:17 line 15]: [plugin] unknown tag - 'stylesheet' (core.load_plugins.php, line 123)" string(111) "Smarty error: [in template:17 line 18]: [plugin] unknown tag - 'cms_selflink' (core.load_plugins.php, line 123)" string(105) "Smarty error: [in template:17 line 52]: [plugin] unknown tag - 'anchor' (core.load_plugins.php, line 123)" string(105) "Smarty error: [in template:17 line 72]: [plugin] unknown tag - 'search' (core.load_plugins.php, line 123)" string(110) "Smarty error: [in template:17 line 79]: [plugin] unknown tag - 'breadcrumbs' (core.load_plugins.php, line 123)" string(103) "Smarty error: [in template:17 line 94]: [plugin] unknown tag - 'menu' (core.load_plugins.php, line 123)" string(104) "Smarty error: [in template:17 line 101]: [plugin] unknown tag - 'news' (core.load_plugins.php, line 123)" string(105) "Smarty error: [in template:17 line 111]: [plugin] unknown tag - 'print' (core.load_plugins.php, line 123)" string(107) "Smarty error: [in template:17 line 113]: [plugin] unknown tag - 'content' (core.load_plugins.php, line 123)" string(114) "Smarty error: [in template:17 line 138]: [plugin] unknown tag - 'global_content' (core.load_plugins.php, line 123)"

Still getting it now having messed around all day trying to resolve it?

Any ideas?

It 's as if the /plugins folder is either empty or unreadable by the webserver.
Anything in the server (error)logs?

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply. All files were definitely uploaded, although I haven't applied any special permissions to any of them other than those that are applied when uploading them. Hadn't had any problems with CMSMadeSimple until my server was recently moved to a new cluster (Dreamhost's action, to improve server performance).

Any other ideas?

Is it this 'Smarty' thing thats not compatible with my server, or needs installation?

[Dee]

Normally, nothing is needed. Smarty is included in the CMS Made Simple install (lib/smarty) and included from the PHP scripts.
Did you try clearing the Smarty cache (either from the admin or by deleting all files in tmp/cache and tmp/templates_c)?

[ashleyhall]

I haven't tried it but suirely it wouldn't be necessary as its a brand new fresh install? The installation procedure works fine, its only once its completed and states that the CMS is ready!

Has no one else seen this problem before?

An update, the sites now fully up and running, it seems that the admin panel didn't pickup the proper server root path and had added some odd strings, corrected that in the Config.php and its working now!!!
