[TYPO3-debian] SAFE MODE

[Steffen Müller]

Hi.

If you're not interested in safemode at all, simply turn it off and your
problem should be solved. Try safe_mode = Off also in etc/php4/cgi/php.ini

If you are sure that you need the safemode features, learn about php
safemode restrictions and read:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php
Then keep on reading this mail.

So what does this warning wants to tell us here? A permission problem,
caused by a difference in file owner and apache user.

Check the user which runs Apache2 (and tell us the output):
user at host:~$ grep -E "^(User|Group)" /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
it should be www-data

check the owner of the files the typo3_src and site directory.
user at host:~$ ls -l /usr/share/typo3/typo3_src-4.0
user at host:~$ ls -l /var/lib/typo3-dummy/typo3conf


Maybe it simply helps to turn on safe_mode_gid in php.ini and
user at host:~$ chgrp -R www-data /var/lib/typo3-dummy/

If not, change the owner of your TYPO3 files to the Apache User.
