Class 'Smarty_Template_Compiled' not found during setup

I have been using MODX for sometime know and installation has always been straight forward.

-Download package from modx website
-Upload to server
-Extract to directory
-Create blank database with user and password
-Start setup by entering path to the setup directory (eg example.com/setup)

I had to pull down all the sites that I build on modx after being attacked by hackers and decided to do a fresh installation of the latest version of modx.

After following the usual steps I got the "Your MODX_CORE_PATH is invalid" message.

Aft6er entering the path to the core directory (which I also renamed and relocated to the webroot) I got the following errror:

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '__DIR__/bootstrap.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib64/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home2/user/public_html/core_xxx/model/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 72

Fatal error: Class 'Smarty_Template_Compiled' not found in /home2/user/public_html/core_xxx/model/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_template.php on line 554

How do I fix this? NB:- I do not intend to use bootstrap or any other fancy stuff just basic html and css.

Thanks

I feel that your paths might not be right but the error indicates otherwise...this bootstrap is probably just to frame your manager page and make it re-sizable.

Do you have the smarty folder in your core? Could it be a permissions problem?

What's this it looks weird to me

(include_path='.:/usr/lib64/php:/usr/share/pear')

Yes there is a smarty folder and the code on line 73 of Smarty.class.php is:-

    include __DIR__ . '/bootstrap.php';

Line 554 of /home2/user/public_html/core_xxx/model/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_template.php is:-

$this->compiled = Smarty_Template_Compiled::load($this);

Smarty_Template_Compiled exist in the same folder but in different case:-

smarty_template_compiled.php

Noting that php is case sensititive this may very well be the source of the error. What do you guys think.

I don't know what

include_path='.:/usr/lib64/php:/usr/share/pear'

is but looks like it is generated from

__DIR__

I did a little googling and found that:

You can use __DIR__ to get your current script's directory. It has been in PHP only since version 5.3

My host is running 5.4.24 so that should be fine.

Just done some test by inserting the following lines at the start of the code:-

 echo __DIR__."<br>";
 echo __FILE__;

Output is:

__DIR__
/home2/xxx/public_html/core_xxx/model/smarty/Smarty.class.php

So looks like __DIR__ is not working as intended. [ed. note: sheils last edited this post 5 years, 8 months ago.]

Looks like have fixed the problem.

Replace __DIR__ with dirname(__FILE__) is the fix.

Sounds like a bug that require reporting

Looks like that something weird with PHP version. Could you try this code?

echo phpversion() . "<br>";
echo __DIR__."<br>";
echo __FILE__;

Hi Ivan, I run your code from the bootstrap.php file and got this:

5.2.17
__DIR__
/home2/xxx/public_html/xxx/core/model/smarty/bootstrap.php

So looks like my host is not providing the version listed in control panel(see attachment)

Cheers
