Can safe mode be disabled in PHP?

SnakeMan · November 26th, 2009, 9:02 PM

I have a client who wants to use the Concrete5 CMS package and I am told by its install process that PHP safe mode must be disabled? Can this be done with a localized php ini file?

As far as I know Surpass does not have "safe_mode" enabled at any server.

We have safe_mode enabled on all our shared servers. A local php.ini file would work but it needs to be in every directory. Typically on the install putting it in the install directory is crucial. If you have further issues I would recommend putting in a ticket.

Thanks psfrog and Giles. I eventually figured it out and went the local php.ini file route. Once I got the package installed I went and re-enabled safe mode and all is well.

I have installed Concrete5 on my resellers as needed with no problems and no change to Surpass defaults - if that information is of any help.

Neil, I'm on a reseller account and Concrete5 gave me the error as I stated in my first post. When I ran phpinfo it came back as safe mode being on. I used a local phpini file to disable it and the install went just fine and then I went back and enabled safe mode and so far no other problems.

Thanks for your input.
