Re: Maia Guard and Freebsd 12. Problems with PHP..ini

I'll take a crack at making this a little less confusing.

The php.ini entry:
The entry in the php.ini file is telling PHP what it can access when
it's called. So, the entry that you have of "include_path =
"/usr/local/share/pear:/usr/local/share/smarty3-php72” is telling PHP
that it is allowed to access both the /usr/local/share/pear and the
/usr/local/share/smarty3-php72 directories. So, when your HTTP server
starts a PHP process, it can access the pear and smarty data.

The Maia Smarty directory:
The directory that Maia expects to exist for smarty is located in the
Maia web base directory (likely /usr/local/www/maia if installed using
the port/pkg) under "libs/Smarty" (So, the full path would be
/usr/local/www/maia/libs/Smarty). This directory *MUST* be named
"Smarty" (not "smarty" or "Smarty2", etc...). If this directory does not
exist, Maia will choke. The FreeBSD port automatically creates a
symbolic link from /usr/local/www/maia/libs/Smarty to
/usr/local/share/smarty3-php72. With the php.ini entry above in place,
it allows the Maia PHP code to access the smarty data in
/usr/local/share/smarty3-php72.

If you've used Smarty2 instead of Smarty3, only the symbolic link in the
Maia web directory would need to be changed. So,
/usr/local/www/maia/libs/Smarty would need to be symbolically linked to
/usr/local/share/smarty instead of /usr/local/share/smarty3-php72. Also,
just an FYI, I haven't heard of any issues with Smarty3 and Maia on
FreeBSD. Thousands of installs running perfectly out there so you
shouldn't *NEED* to use Smarty2 but you certainly can.

I hope this helps!
