My Server & PHP Safemode

[Johnny|lucidcomposure]

I could really do with some help on this.

I am trying to install slideshowpro Director onto my webserver but it will not work unless PHP safemode is disabled.

I seem to of located my php.ini located in a /etc folder on my server and opened this .ini file to find that it is turned off (or that is the value anyway) I have contacted my host for support and they emailed me back saying that my VDS is no longer running php safe mode. The installation of director is still throwing up this error though?

Create a file with:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

in it, and save as phpinfo.php (or whatever you like).

Upload this file to the location you're installing Director, and then visit phpinfo.php in your browser. With this done, you'll be able to discover what the active configuration is at the install location.

Note the value of "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" to check you edited the right file, and the value of "safe_mode" to confirm it's disabled. Also note that Apache must be restarted if you make any changes to your php.ini.
