Problems with PHP Safe Mode

    If you try to install WordPress on a shared host with virtual servers for each user, you will possibly run in a big problem. Every time you try to access you Blog page, the browser will start a file download of the php file instead of display the page.
    You have to disable the safe mode first and everything works fine 😉
    (BTW: My server is running Apache 2.0.49, PHP 4.3.4 and MySQL 4.0.18 with PHP as Apache module…)

    To the WordPress developers:
    Hey guys, you should make it very clear, that your software is not able to run with activated PHP safe mode!

    WP has not had an issue with Safe Mode before, and in fact the FAQ clearly states – from previous queries on this issue – that Safe Mode has no impact on WP.

    I would suggest that this is due more to the configuration that your host has implemented.

    First:
    I found no clear statement about safe mode on this page! BTW, where is the FAQ where you found this ? In Docs/FAQ they say nothing about safe mode…
    Second:
    The only thing I changed was disabling the safe mode – and it works. Strange!

    I run php in safe mode, and never had a problem.

    Thx podz – for the link.
    Maybe it was a special problem with my server. The box is hosting many virtual hosts and confixx as admin tool. This is causing a confusing configuration with many *.conf files – all included in others… terrible ;-(
    Anyway, now it works.
