cant move templates_c directory

[jpkelly]

If I try to move the templates_c directory I get a blank screen.

 

Even if i just change the name of "templates_c" to "templates_cx" and change the line in configuration.php to:

 

$templates_compiledir = "templates_cx/";

 

I get a blank admin page.

 

Any Ideas?

Did you clear out the contents of the directory? Are you sure the web server has permission to write to it?

I tried clearing the templates_cx directory and I still get a blank page. The templates_cx directory has 777 permissions.

It is located in the same directory as templates_c.

So i have templates_c and templates_cx directories side by side with the same permissions.

When I enter in configuration.php:

$templates_compiledir = "templates_c/";

it works.

When I enter in configuration.php:

$templates_compiledir = "templates_cx/";

it does not work.

 

I also tried putting the templates_c dir in a dir called test (sub dir of whmcs root) and changing the configuration.php line to $templates_compiledir = "test/templates_c/"; and I still get a blank page.

 

I tried emptying browser's cache and two different browsers (FF and Safari) with the same results.

Turning display_errors = On in php.ini and adding $display_errors = true; to configuration.php still gives a blank page.

As far as I know, the name of the folder needs to be templates_c

If you move it ourside your www-directory, as is the suggested thing to do, you just add the complete path in your config-file;

 

$templates_compiledir = "/home/account/templates_c/";
