Re: Problems installing smarty on a shared host

So it appears for sure that I can't read anything inside my home directory, or outside the webroot it would seem. Any ideas?

Then put it in webroot. You should protect template and compiled template directories using .htaccess. Smarty.class.php does not really matter, it only defines a class.
