How do i turn off PHP safe_mode ?

This is the current status.


safe_mode On Off


The reason I want to turn off this is so that vbulletin board can use the avatar feature.

This is controlled in the servers php.ini file and is usually set by the system administrator.

safe_mode = Off

Safe_mode=on will restrict/disable quite a few Php functions. It's basically a band-aid to handle security issues and causes quite a few problems for users when in effect but does stop quite a few malicious php scripts.

Hope this helps ..

No, just restart Apache:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
