PHP safe_mode (safe mode) Aanval recommends the disabling of PHP's safe_mode on systems in which Aanval will run and be managed. Safe mode was originally intended as a stop-gap solution for permissions and access control specific to web and internet hosting services and servers. PHP 6 will no longer provide safe mode functionality. From the PHP website: "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." Aanval is a complicated application and as such, may not function properly in such a restricted environment. Logos and trademarks are property of their respective owners. |
