Public bug reported: When installing postfixadmin from scratch you get an error:
ERROR: the templates_c directory doesn't exist or isn't writeable for the webserver This is because there's a bug in smarty.inc.php: // if it's not present or writeable, smarty should just not cache. $templates_c = dirname(__FILE__) . '/../templates_c'; if (is_dir($templates_c) && is_writeable($templates_c)) { <...> die("ERROR: the templates_c directory doesn't exist or isn't writeable for the webserver"); } Where the location of templates_c is (a) hard-coded and (b) hard-coded to a questionable (and relative) location. The manual fix for this is to create the directory and chown it to www- data:www-data. ** Affects: postfixadmin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1942689 Title: template_c directory not created or not pointing to the right place.
