Update to Revo 2.3.2-pl not working: safe mode "off"

Hi

I wanted to update from working 2.2. to the newest version and I get the following message: test if safe_mode is "off": failed!

I cannot change this in my hosting preferences, can i do it in .htaccess or do I have to talk to the hosting provider?

Thanks.
Markus

It would be somewhat unusual for you to have any control over it. You can try putting this in a php.ini file at the MODX root, but it's unlikely to work, imo:



Safe mode was deprecated in PHP 5.3 and removed altogether in 5.4, so if you can get the host to upgrade to 5.4, it might solve your problem. Sometimes, you can upgrade the PHP version yourself in cPanel, but with a host who is still using safe mode, probably not.

Thank you BobRay

Meanwhile i found a possibility to change it in the hosting settings... so all ok.
