1and1 hosting issue

I have a client who uses 1and1 to host their site...I'm in the process of developing the site using CMS Made Simple, but have run into a snag. I can install OK, but after installing 1.0.6, I get a safe mode error in the admin. I checked the php.ini file and it has safe mode set to OFF.
I know that there are several folks here that use 1an1 and am wondering if anyone else has run into this problem. I am not able to upload anything to the server because of this and am wondering what to do next.

create file named phpinfo.php on the server with this content
and load the page in browser. It will show you all php settings including if safe mode is on or off.
if phpinfo says that safe mode is off you can turn that warning of in site admin -> global settings
hope this helps

TSW,
First of all, thank you for your input...I did what you said and the values for safe_mode are:
Local Master
On Off
Now I feel more confused; it would seem to me that php.ini would be the local value and the master value something else (what, I don't know)
Help!!!

Is there an .htaccess file in the root that changes the safe mode setting?

Nullig,
There is an .htaccess file in the root, the content of which are:
Code: Select all
# -FrontPage-
IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName www.cigarson6th.com
AuthUserFile /home/virtual/site13/fst/var/www/html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/virtual/site13/fst/var/www/html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
I'm admittedly a little green about this, but it doesn't appear to affect safe_mode. I tried deleting the contents of this file, with no change in effect.

I like 1&1 Hosting except for the fact that CMSMS runs SOOO SLOOOOWLY--beware. If you have success, would you please let us know which package you're using?
On the Safe Mode issue, I never had a problem with it. I don't know why you would.

Not sure if one of these will work, but you could try adding this to your config.php...
ini_set(safe_mode,'Off');
Or this in the .htaccess file...
php_value include_path ".:/usr/local/lib/php"
php_admin_flag safe_mode off
php3_include_path ".:/usr/local/lib/php"
php3_safe_mode off

I think i had the same issue before, I think i had to email my host and ask them to turn off safe mode.
