safe mode / directories

Paul Schmidinger

Hi,

I created a directory with PHP mkdir (mode 0777). Then I try to
move_ulpoaded_f ile() to move a file into this directory. I get an error:

Warning: move_uploaded_f ile(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script
whose uid is 1999 is not allowed to access
/home/www/ww4592/html/fs/PHP/Dateien/Bereich_1/NEUER_ORDNER owned by uid 33
in /home/www/ww4592/html/fs/PHP/File.php on line 57

The webspace is at a webhost-company, not on my own server. I think I
understand the restrictions of SAFE MODE, but I do not understand why a
script has another uid than a directory created by the very same script!

Is the error above the "normal" bevaviour if SAFE MODE is on?

If it is: That is a drastic limitation. If I say to a client "I need
webspace with PHP" and I get that SAFE MODE-stuff would it not be right to
say that that is no fully working PHP-Webspace? I mean a webspace that does
not allow a directory to be created and a file moved into it does not really
support PHP -- it's a joke! Any opinions?

Thanks and sorry for my maybe bad English,
Paul Schmidinger

safe mode and passthru

by: Yemi | last post by:

Hi There. I seem to be getting some inconsistent results when using passthru() in safe mode. They appear to be related to the fact that passthru should treat all command arguments as one single argument when safe mode is on. Everything works just fine on my MacOS X webserver ( Apache 1.3.29 with PHP 4.3.6 ). But on my Linux Enterprise 3.0 production server (running Apache 2.0.46 with PHP 4.3.2) things are different.

Safe Mode & File Upload

by: pdav | last post by:

Hi! Is there any solution to create a directory with one script with mkdir(), and then write a file (or move an uploaded file) in this directory with another script? The problem is, that the directory belongs to the PHP-interpreter (UID 33 in my case) and the script doing the file creation and the one creating the directory belong to the FTP-user (UID 754 in my case).

Disable safe mode without loss of security ?

by: Sephi | last post by:

Hello, I'm trying to disable safe mode from my php installation. First because this functionality will be removed in PHP6, and because it's very restrictive and it's giving me headaches when configuring frameworks and other applications. Moreover, it's said on the php website that the safe mode solution is not a good thing... I'm looking for a tutorial which indicates what to configure on a server in order to have a secured installation...

Re: Simple and safe evaluator

I'm finding my quest for a safe eval() quite frustrating :) Any comments on this: Just forget about getting python to do this and, instead, grab my set of values (from a user supplied text file) and call an external program like 'bc' to do the dirty work. I think that this would avoid someone from embedding os.system("rm ...") in what I thought would be a math expression and having it maybe do damage? Perhaps I'm getting too paranoid in...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
