Fatal error when trying to access site by mobile and sign in form disappears on desktop

vrijvlinder

I have been having problems today with things that were working fine and now they are not. First , the forums do not work on a mobile phone. my Host says:

I have checked the issue and it looks like the issue is with the application. The error log shows the following details:
20121023T012830: vrijvlinder.com/mydatabass/Forum/library/vendors/Smarty-2.6.25/demo/index.php
PHP Fatal error: Smarty error: the $compile_dir 'templates_c' does not exist, or is not a directory. in /hermes/waloraweb093/b2019/moo.vrijvlinder/mydatabass/Forum/library/vendors/Smarty-2.6.25/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1113

I do not know what they did when they went to find the error but now the sign in sheet disappears and links do not work.
What can I do ?

Thanks Peregrine , but that did not work, I deleted and reinstalled the files from backup and now the site works again but still no mobile, getting bonk error when accessing from any mobile phone. I suppose I rather have my site work on a desktop computer even if it won't work on a mobile. Just would like things to work like they should.

Ok I was able to access the site on a mobile but only using PHOTON as the browser, it won't work in Safari, as far as I know the site is not flash based so it should work on Safari for iPhone. Hmmm

Yea the problem is that something is not sending the request to load the mobile theme instead of the full website. So I can access the website just like it appears on the desktop when using PHOTON browser on the iPhone. When using safari for iPhone I get a bonk error. Maybe I need to route something ? I do not know what else to do.

In dashboard when trying to preview the mobile theme I get the same bonk error!! something is wrong. The mobile theme is not being found when it requests from a mobile and even trying to access it from the desktop.

Ok I figured out what I did wrong, I placed the folders you mentioned in the wrong place but now they are in the right place and seems it is working like it should, I think.

The solution to the mobile problem :

Create folders: compile and cache by making a new directory in the cache directory of forum call the directory Smarty then make two other directories inside that one, compile and cache.

so it is going to look like this the path of the new directories:

yourhost/forum/cache/Smarty/compile

yourhost/forum/cache/Smarty/cache

No permissions have been set it seems to work like this but who knows later lol
