Trouble Installing Smarty could really do with some help

Hi Folks,

I am trying to install Smarty using PHP 5 on a Windows XP PC using IIS
v6

The following PHP File:

<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 //EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Title here!</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
require('Smarty.class.php');
$smarty = new Smarty;

$smarty->template_dir = '/Program
Files/PhpIncludes/Smarty-2.6.9/demo/templates';
$smarty->compile_dir = '/Program
Files/PhpIncludes/Smarty-2.6.9/demo/templates_c';
$smarty->config_dir = '/Program
Files/PhpIncludes/Smarty-2.6.9/demo/configs/';
$smarty->cache_dir = '/Program Files/PhpIncludes/Smarty-2.6.9/demo/cache/';

$smarty->assign('name','Ned');

$smarty->display('index2.tpl');

?>
</body>
</html>
Gives the following error:

Warning: Smarty::fetch(/Program
Files/PhpIncludes/Smarty-2.6.9/demo/templates_c\%%93^934^9348F8B7%%index2.tpl.php)
[function.fetch]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
C:\Program Files\PhpIncludes\Smarty-2.6.9\libs\Smarty.class.php on line 1251

Warning: Smarty::fetch() [function.include]: Failed opening '/Program
Files/PhpIncludes/Smarty-2.6.9/demo/templates_c\%%93^934^9348F8B7%%index2.tpl.php'
for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\Program
Files\PhpIncludes\Smarty-2.6.9\libs') in C:\Program
Files\PhpIncludes\Smarty-2.6.9\libs\Smarty.class.php on line 1251
Any Ideas please?

Thanks,

Martin

Using directory names with spaces in is a recipe for pain and annoyance, if
not outright disaster. I'd recommend moving everything into a directory without
spaces in it.

Might not be the cause of your problem but you'll likely avoid headaches
later.
$smarty->compile_dir = '/Program

$smarty->config_dir = '/Program
Files/PhpIncludes/Smarty-2.6.9/demo/configs/';
$smarty->cache_dir = '/Program Files/PhpIncludes/Smarty-2.6.9/demo/cache/';

Gives the following error:

Warning: Smarty::fetch(/Program

OK, obvious question first, does the directory given exist?
Does the filename referenced exist?
Any Ideas please?

Next on the list is checking permissions, since Smarty needs to write to the
template_c directory - have permissions been loosened sufficiently? (If I
remember correctly, for IIS it's the IUSR_<machinename> account needs write
access to the directory). Same again for the cache directory, too.
