safe_mode 1

Hrm. It seems I may have broken part of the web space at my new host. Well, not broken per say, but close. I tried installing Gallery with safe_mode turned on. It allowed me to create a gallery, but it promptly broke itself and left a directory that I don’t have access to hanging out there. That might not be so bad, but safe mode keeps even a PHP-based file manager from deleting it. I uploaded one and tried. I figured if it was running as the same user as created it (whatever Apache user) it’ll be able to delete the file. Wrong. If the host is willing to turn off safe_mode everything will go fine, otherwise I’ll be looking for another host that offers a bit more flexability as far as server configuration goes. This place is great so far, but some things seem limiting. I’d also like to direct gallery.nuxx.net to nuxx.net/gallery, but I think that will take some work as well. If it’s possible here…
