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…

PHP Redux.

Ahh… Whatever boneheaded move was made by Liquidweb has been set right. They said they did an Apache upgrade to fix a security hole. It looks like they didn’t test everything that they have that ties in with Apache. Ah well. It’s back to normal, I can’t complain.

No Change Control Process

Whee! To make the day even better, it looks like my hosting company, Liquidweb, went and made some changes to the PHP configuration on the server that my domain is on.

Currently going to the photo gallery gives this:

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1209 is not allowed to access /home/nuxx/public_html/asdellhouse_albums/.users/userdb.dat owned by uid 99 in /home4/nuxx/public_html/asdellhouse/platform/fs_unix.php on line 53

Warning: fopen(“/home/nuxx/public_html/asdellhouse_albums/.users/userdb.dat”, “r”) – Inappropriate ioctl for device in /home4/nuxx/public_html/asdellhouse/platform/fs_unix.php on line 53

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: geteverybody() in /home4/nuxx/public_html/asdellhouse/init.php on line 175

Now I’m sitting on hold, waiting for whoever in support to get back to me. Perhaps they are fixing it? I hope so… Who knows, though. I’m starting to see the reasons why it’s nice to have change controls entered for work to be done. Maybe an ISO process isn’t such a bad thing…
