Thanks for all the help. But I still have an issue. Bandit-x in his blog indicated that if you point to the root directory in the browser you will get the following error:
Quote:
This page cannot be displayed due to an internal error.

You can provide the following information to the administrators of this site to help them solve the problem:

Error: Smarty error: the $compile_dir 'XOOPS_VAR_PATH/caches/smarty_compile' does not exist, or is not a directory.


But I did point the browser to the /upgrade/ directory and got the same error message.

Also, "badcase" had commented that XOOPS_VAR_PATH should be defined in the mainfile.php. I have checked three different mainfile.php versions from the past and none of them have referenced to that path.

Thanks for your help....

I've checked the mainfile.php from the download, as you said, it requires to run the install.

If you have a backup of the site I would say you could replace the mainfile.php with the copy from the XOOPS distribution you upgraded with.


I do have the mainfile.php from the 2.0.18 and have post it in the above message. In that mainfile.php, there is no reference to Xoops_var_path variable. So, where can I find a mainfile.php that has one?

sorry, I have searched the entire file and the xoops_var_path is not there. this mainfile.php was used by 2.0.18 should I use the new one from the download? per instruction the 2nd step is to delete mailfile.php from the distributed download.

I believe that I did it to the letter.

right now htdoc/ does not have the mainfile.php. The mainfile.php on the server has been set to 777 and it had a different date from today's upload.

here is the current mainfile.php

I uploaded the files to the server and when I executed the /upgrade/ I got the following error message

Error: Smarty error: the $compile_dir 'XOOPS_VAR_PATH/caches/smarty_compile' does not exist, or is not a directory.



I checked the smarty subdirectories and they are there and the attributes are set to 777

Today, I tried to get to my front page and got blank page. Based on my previous experience. I went to ftp and deleted the cache and template_c directory contents and the front page came back unscatched. When I tried to get to the admin page I was informed "if this is the first first time log on to admin please click here"

I am using v2.0.13.1 now
