How to enable umask?

[njunkies]

Hi, just started using ULMB yesterday and so far it's excellent :)

I installed Joomla, and am trying to install a component but I get the following error;

Warning: umask() has been disabled for security reasons in .../components/com_installer/installer.class.php on line 486

Warning: umask() has been disabled for security reasons in .../components/com_installer/installer.class.php on line 497

How do I enable it?

Thanks :)

Edit installer.class.php and change umask to @umask on those lines.

Actually those are just warnings, so the script should continue normal anyway without needing to edit.

At the top it also says;

Failed to create directory "/hosted/subs/ulmb.com/n/j/njunkies/public_html/components/com_feedgator/"

But I just assumed it was because of the umask error.

When I change umask to @umask when I go to the installer page it says this;

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '@' in /hosted/subs/ulmb.com/n/j/njunkies/public_html/administrator/components/com_installer/installer.class.php on line 486

:(

I made some changes to installer.class.php please try it again now.

I tried again but it still says...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '@' in /hosted/subs/ulmb.com/n/j/njunkies/public_html/administrator/components/com_installer/installer.class.php on line 486


Am I changing it correctly, eg:

I change it from this...

$old_umask = umask(0);

to...

$old_@umask = @umask(0);

Is that right?

[UnlimitedMB]

no it should be

$old_umask = @umask(0);

[njunkies]

Ah yes that solved the line 486 problem :)

Thanks :)


For line 497;

umask($old_umask);

Should I put the @ in front of just one of them or both of them?

[njunkies]

Ok I fixed the umask error but the main error;

Failed to create directory "/hosted/subs/ulmb.com/n/j/njunkies/public_html/components/com_feedgator/"

That's still there :(

You will need to contact script author about it, its not a hosting problem.

Okay thanks for all your help :)
