How to turn off PHP Safe Mode in Plesk for Dummies.
This is a compilation of the information that I have found on these forums that helped me figure this out. Hope this helps some lost newbie, like me. What you need to type is in “â€
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. You need to access the server at it’s root, since plesk a program that runs on your server and it doesn’t have permissions to everything on your server. I lot of people tell you to use PuTTy, but I find that SSH in Plesk works fine for this.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. In plesk goto: >> virtuozzo >> SSH >> enter your login/pass for root access. (A separate window will pop up with a dos like prompt)
Must be logged in as root, and under the root directory.
Next type this and enter: “cd /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf “
(your path might be different, if it is type “locate domain.com/conf†and it will tell you the path)
Next type this and enter: “touch vhost.confâ€
Next type this and enter: “chmod 777 vhost.confâ€
Next type this and enter: “exit†(don’t know if you have to exit here or not to refresh or something?)
So, I guess all that creates the file vhost.conf and gives it permissions so that you can edit it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. to edit a file u have to use an editor ... vi or pico (I don’t know what pico is, I used vi) ... so do the following in ssh:
“vi /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf/vhost.confâ€
this opens up a “text editor†(it just turns the screen black) - press “i†for insert and then type the following:
“<Directory /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs>
php_admin_value safe_mode Off
</Directory>â€
you can press enter after each line since your in a text editor now
after that press "ESC"
and after that type "!!"
a new line under the editor pops up like this:
:.!
Backspace so there is only a colon “:â€
now type "wq" and press enter
All this put the code above into the file that we created earlier
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. now we need to let the “server†know about that change so it will read that file we created
type this with out any prefix “/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=domain_nameâ€
type “exitâ€
now restart your server in plesk goto: server >>reboot
and now safe mode should be turned off and you should all set!
