PHP Problem

[nenad]

Hi,

I set up ISPCOnfig on Fedora Core 3.
I insatlled Joomla!

And I have a PHP problem:

I can't turn off "safe mode".
It is set as "off" in php.ini

When I look at php info, there is information that:
Local value for "Safe mode" is: ON
Master value for "Safe Mode" is: OFF

How can I set "LOCAL" value for php.ini ?
And what are "local" and "master" values anyway ?

You must disable PHP Safe Mode for this web site in ISPConfig.

How to change:

memory_limit 8M 8M

to 16M or 32M

Changes in
/root/ispconfig/php/php.ini
or
/etc/php.ini

are accepted but not applied

That's the php.ini of ISPConfig, it has nothing to do with your main PHP.

Please create a PHP script with

PHP Code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

in it and access it in your browser. It will tell you the location of your php.ini. Then modify it and don't forget to restart Apache.

I prefer:

updatedb
locate php.ini

which gives me again:
/etc/php.ini

The problem was that I forgot to restart httpd

Thanx a lot for remiding me!

P.S.
But I your sript too ;-)

A general remark: This finds a file named php.ini. This must not be the php.ini used by your PHP setup.

It finds:

/etc/php.ini
/root/ispconfig/php/php.ini

well, if I should disable popen() and proc_open() -functions in php.ini...should this be enough to change it for the user-webs or should / can I disable them in the ispconfig-php.ini too??

That popen is similar to exec is not really new as Heise described themself. It is a good idea to disable it for users, when you users do not use these functions. But ISPConfig uses popen in several scripts so it is a bad idea to disable it in the ispconfig php.ini.

I had a similar type of issue where my script (Gallery) was telling me that safe mode was on. I checked the php.ini file and safe mode was definitely set to off.

I then realised that phpinfo was telling me that local mode was on (ie: safe mode was enabled for the site I was calling the script from) even though the global setting was off.

After much investigation I found the file;

/etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

And sure enough there were entries in there

php_admin_flag safe_mode On

I amended this to Off.

There were two entries, one specific to my site but another which I assume is the default variable. I also switched that off.

Once restarting apache all is working great.

Don't know if this is the correct way to resolve it but it works for me !
