I upgraded our site to 4.5.2 this weekend and now am getting Smarty errors all over the site. A sample of the errors is Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: “dyn/newbasketitem\_message.tpl” in /var/www/unibindusa/core/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1093. All of my items are showing, however it’s not pulling a lot of the item details and such. I am running on a Linux CentOS server, PHP 5.2.17. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  
Thanks!

I originally went from 4.4.5 PE to 4.4.8\_34028 successfully. Then from 4.4.8 to 4.5.2 is where the problem arose. I want to use the same template that I was using before. It was in the custom folder, I thought during the update process, the custom got copied over to the basic folder. Is that not accurate?

[QUOTE=ocampbell;69832Is that not accurate?[/QUOTE]  
No, the way the template-update works is, that the “basic”-theme and the “custom”-theme are converted to the new directory structure.

So you still have to specify your “custom”-theme as your active template.
