phpinfo() and safe_mode

[yahia]

I'm installing a blog software, and it didn't want to work.
It's said that I should check whether safe_mode is on or not on my host account. So I can't because phpinfo returns an error and doesn't want to show anything.

Is safe_mode on or off on the free server?

Should be off on free

 

[yahia]

Isn't there any precise answer?

It's off

Althrough some functions seem to be disabled ([noparse]readfile()[/noparse]

Safemode is off but we do have some of the high risk functions disabled. We are looking in the future to enable them on an account by account basis for people who are in good standing and request them.

Hi Corey,
Is there anyway I can have readfile() and fsockopen() enabled per my account? My RSS feeds component is now broken (technical speak ). Thanks!

About readfile(), if your readfile reads files inside your folders (not off-site like taking them from X site), then you could put include() instead of that.

Thats what i changed in script i used...

Thanks for the advice but it reads XML files from offsite security vendors. Readfile() is required.

FILE_GET_CONTENTS? Lol I use it to get my ads from x10.

Thanks for the advice! The component used the Magpie RSS php class which requires readfile() and fsockopen() to function. I was able to find the Simple-RSS php class which uses file_get_contents. After a little rework on the component, I was able to get it to work once again.

Feeds of my site are still broken but I'm checking into that now.

Thanks again for the advice!

Joomla uses the FeedCreator class, and my error log has been filling up with readfile errors. Any idea how to fix this?

[31-Jan-2007 01:05:43] PHP Warning: readfile() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/******/public_html/joomla/includes/feedcreator.class.php on line 674

Edit:
Never mind: Change in feedcreator.class.php
