PHP Unable to Copy Files from Upload (Plesk and PHP safe_mode)

Posted by: john In: php|plesk

After searching around for the better part of this morning, I finally figured out why my file upload script was not working correctly. When I setup the domain I did not even check to see if it was turned on since I did it relatively quickly, but right there in the “Hosting Settings” is an option to turn on PHP safe_mode.

I’m sure there’s a good reason to keep it on when using virtual hosting with multiple people using the same server, but for me it was just causing more problems then I could figure out. If anyone knows how to keep it on while still being able to copy/move files from an upload, please leave a comment below.

What security problems may occur if I disable the safe-mode? (Sorry for my bad english, I’m german ;)

  • john: There's no easy way to stop it within the InnerFade plugin, but you could just erase all the list items after you've cycled through them using jQuery.
  • Steven: Rachid, did you find an answer? Is there a way to stop by a picture at the end? Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!
  • htc smartphone: WP togo is going to be a great little example of just what kind of super-power these droids will offer like the htc aria and other htc mobile phones l
