Installed on linux - something wrong!

After I had transferred eZ publish to the host server, I ran the startup-setup. The System check said:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning
- open_basedir
- open_basedir is in use and can give problems running eZ publish due to bugs in some PHP versions.
- It's recommended that it is turned off if you experience problems running eZ publish.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issues
1. PHP safe mode is enabled
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Very well, but how do I turn these off?

Cause now nothing works. The demo-news interface is locked!

I had a similar issue with Mandrake 9.1 distro. There should be a file /etc/php.ini (or something very close to this). In that file, you will find an option called safe_mode. Change it to Off.

Now, if that file doesn't exist -- you *might* need to install a package to get it (like mdk9.1 does). If you still can't find it -- you'll probably find a php.ini-dist on your system somewhere. You can start with it (by copying it to /etc/php.ini).

Hope this helps...

It says somewhere on ez.no that eZ publish will work, even if open_basedir and safe mode is enabled, on the newer versions of PHP. My host told me that PHP 4 was installed on the linux-server.. (That's the newest PHP version, right?) What can be wrong?

(The host need to have safe mode enabled, because it's a shared server.)
