This happens when the complied directory has not been created or does not have correct permissions.

/var/www/html/openemr/interface/main/calendar/modules/PostCalendar/pntemplates/compiled

Look at this link:

/var/www/html/openemr/interface/main/calendar/modules/PostCalendar/pntemplates/compiled

Apache needs to read and write privileges on the directory.

# chown apache:apache  
/var/www/html/openemr/interface/main/calendar/modules/PostCalendar/pntemplates/compiled -R

thanks it worked with chmod 777 /var/www/html/openemr/interface/main/calender/modules/PostCalender/pntemplates/compiled

But I will try after entering the codes you suggested as well…

Thanks
