I have a site on one of those low cost web hosts and I've been having some problems with some files generating the following error:
Warning: Unknown: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 10014 is not allowed to access / owned by uid 0 in Unknown on line 0
I've placed a php.ini file at root level with the following:
safe_mode = off
I've also placed the following in a .htaccess file at root level:
php_flag safe_mode off
If I run a phpinfo() script, I do show that safe_mode is off. I'm still getting the error above on some files, though. One of those errors is in the main javascript file, so as you can imagine, that's quite a bummer.
Permissions on the JS folder/file are 755
Server is running PHP Version 5.2.17
I'm also getting some "Image corrupt or truncated:" errors in Firebug. As you can imagine, those are pretty annoying as well as that means not all my images are loading.
I've cleared my cache/reloaded in several browsers, but still have issues on the site.
I didn't used to get this problem and my web host isn't the greatest at responding or even giving information. I have a suspicion they just change things and don't even bother sending out notice of what/when they're making changes (incredibly annoying). I've had other issues in the past with the site working fine, then just start having issues. Again, low cost web host so not a big surprise, right?
Anyways, anyone have any ideas how I can resolve the safe mode error above?
I don't think that your system admins will allow you to disable PHP Safe Mode due to security reansons. I think you have only two solutions: - Put the files you want to access in your script's directory or a child directory. - Move to a different hosting provider. This configuration can also be tricky with other PHP features such as mail() function.
