1) Safe mode may already be "off" by default. Run the following page to see what it says:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
2) If you need to change the setting, add the following line to
php.inisafe_mode = off
3) Don't forget to have an entry in your
.htaccess file pointing to
php.ini:
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/ACCOUNTNAME/public_html
4) Search for postings concerning
php.ini security -- you may want to hide this file or secure it from inspection by browser, so that hackers can't read it to figure out your site's vulnerabilities.
