php safe mode

i need it off for approx. 15 min, for this mod im installing

3) Install comprofiler.zip as a component.

   NOTE: In Joomla 1.5, you need to set legacy mode to ON in the legacy

   plugin settings before being able to installand run CB 1.1 on Joomla 1.5.

   NOTE: PHP Safe mode must be off for component and plugins installation

   in Joomla! 1.0.x and Mambo.

Nope you don't, and if you truly think you do then the answer is that it will NEVER be turned off. It is on for a reason, if we turn it off that is a huge security risk.

Have you tried it first?

okay, sorry i didn't know it was a security risk, and yea im trying now. no luck

You might be able to modify the script to make it work without it.

im trying to install "comprofiler.zip" for cummuntiy builder, i uploaded the files via ftp to "/hosted/subs/ulmb.com/a/d/advertise/public_html/administrator/components/com_installer/component/com_comprofiler" i get this error

Failed to create directory "/hosted/subs/ulmb.com/a/d/advertise/public_html/components/com_comprofiler/"

so i upload the files to that, then i get a error saying "the folder Failed to create directory in /hosted/subs/ulmb.com/a/d/advertise/public_html/components/com_comprofiler/ is already in use"

if i try uploading it via joomla! i get this error,

Failed to move uploaded file to /media directory.

:-\

You need to contact joomla about this.

A failed to create directory message can NEVER be caused by safe mode.

CHMOD maybe? to 777? will that work?

I remember checking this before.
Its a joomla bug.

It tries to create a folder without creating the parent folder first.

eg. to make /component/com_comprofiler you need to make /component first.

CHMOD Doesn't have to be done on ULMB. If a script asks for something to be CHMOD'd to a certain number, then it's done automatically.
