Comment: Chmod errors

Tony: According to the manual:

"The PHP safe mode is an attempt to solve the shared-server security problem. It is architecturally incorrect to try to solve this problem at the PHP level, but since the alternatives at the web server and OS levels aren't very realistic, many people, especially ISP's, use safe mode for now."

Unfortunately, many ISP are still using PHP in safe mode even if better solution exist today.

My problem today is that I have to evaluate precisely all limitations induced on YACS by the safe mode.

One big issue is that YACS handles many files by himself: files uploaded by users, configuration parameters, and even PHP scripts.

At the moment I am not sure if YACS is even compatible with the safe mode.

Please allow me some time to investigate these complex topics.

I can tell you, all ISPs are not born equal...

My own ISP http://www.ovh.com/ is doing things properly and YACS works there from the outset, without any additional chmod...

Please understand that your issue is actually due to the lazy way your ISP has setup things, and that some time will be necessary to find a workaround, if one exists.

Sorry for inconvenience, if any.
