why do you want to turn safe mode off?

'php_flag safe_mode off' perhaps?

there is a client that has a script that is basically trying to create files, which Safemode is preventing from happening.

I tried that, didn't work. Oh well.

There is a way to turn safe mod off just for one account. I just don't know the way. Try searching around. Safe Mod is a good thing to have on.

You cannot turn safe_mode off in .htaccess.

You can only change this value in system files (root access needed); php.ini or in <virtualhost> entry in apache's httpd.conf.
More info: http://www.php.net/features.safe-mode

HOW-TO:
Changing safe_mode to off (or on) in just one domain

edit /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
find something similar to:

<VirtualHost IP.IP.IP.IP>
ServerAlias www.domain.com domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/user/public_html
(...)
</VirtualHost>

of the domain name you wish to change, and palce inside <virtualhost></virtualhost>:
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_admin_flag safe_mode off (or on)
</IfModule>

That way, domain.com will have safe_mode disabled (or enabled)

Yeah ...

Try "php_admin_value safe_mode 0" then ...
This one works correctly, I am sure

Thanks for your help.

But it doesn't work

I'm running Linux RedHat 7.3 Sever and Apache Build without phpSuexec and would like to use Safe Mode but I need to exclude one of my sub-Domain from Safe Mode.

I used both the methods expained here but they didn't work for me.

Please help me.

This is the way to do it - are you sure you restarted the server after adding:

php_admin_flag safe_mode off

to the user's vhost entry in httpd.conf?

Make sure that mod_php4.c mod is loaded otherwise it will not work

The safemode off directive is usually set to only work in httpd file in which you need root access to change. It can't usually be set in an .htaccess file or it would be basically useless. You just add the above directive to httpd under the specific domain's virtual listing. This will shut off safemode for the entire account, not just a subdomain.

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_admin_flag safe_mode off
</IfModule>


very thanks
