Problems on secure webhosting (safemode on, etc)

How can I override these settings manually. My host provider uses very strick policy, which I support but cms ms does not install.

All three are checked yellow, as they are not supported.
- Checking if session.save_path is writable
- Checking if ini_set works
- Checking for Safe mode

How can I get around that ?


regards

Working PHP sessions is mandatory. See the requirements in the wiki.

- Suhosin PHP patch
- Suhosin extension
- mod_security
- Disable all insecure functions via disable_functions.

This ends up much more secure than safe mode, and most scripts still function correctly :)
Huh, I searched this forum once and I found some problems with cmsms when running on the PHP with suhosin installed. Haven't you encountered some problems?
