Question: ez3rc2 in Safe-Mode?

Sunday 02 March 2003 2:48:32 pm

Hi Folks,

to the ezCrew:
Will you support ezPublish 3 in PHP safe mode? That means: Will it be garanteed to run in a PHP safe mode environment?

to all others:
How is your milage with ez3rc2 in safe mode?
Does anyone have success with rc2 and safemode on?

Currently, I get an error about openbase_dir.
php.net says, this setting/restriction is independant from the PHP safe mode. It also says, that there is a know bug in PHP about openbase_dir.

I'm trying to install ezPublish Systems on a new "1&1 Rootserver" (large ISP in germany). I want to use safemode.
With ez2.2.7, it seems to work now (finally, after 4 nights!).

Well, we offer Webspace and ezPublish setups to customers on that same server.
If you allow PHP with safe-mode off, you can easily run into troubles.
PHP without safemode is not very safe and can kill the apache server or more.
But you need to allow your customers to FTP (when they create their owe templates for example). Thus, they could change/create PHP files, which can be dangerous.
