First, what is the latest word on the SAFE MODE Uploading and Reading Files problem and workarounds and /or fixes?
I have been reading as much as I can about the SAFE MODE problem and it seems as though I have the same old problem with SAFE MODE and my host provider (My web hosting service is reluctant to relax the permissions).
Secondly, as Ive been playing around and I noticed an interesting twist that makes we wonder.
I am trying to upload resource files for the students to use.
When I upload it I get:
Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 30391 is not allowed to access /var/www/virtuals/s/ellis2020.org/htdocs/moodle/moodledata/2//emgr05un09.pdf owned by uid 33 in /var/www/virtuals/s/ellis2020.org/htdocs/moodle/mod/resource/coursefiles.php on line 133
Uploaded emgr05un09.pdf (application/pdf) to /
This looks like it didnt upload or some other major problem. The funny thing is that it did upload and I can see it in my file list. I just cant read it.
When I go to read it (by clicking on it) I get:
I wanted to see if I could access it outside of Moodle, like with a browser. Sure enough I put in the URL and it appeared no problem. My question is If I CAN upload a file; I can view the file in a browser, why cant I use moodle to do this?
