Missing files & php safe mode

Permalink
I'm in the middle of trying to install this & getting:

You must chmod 755 concrete/libraries/3rdparty/htmldiff.py and disable PHP safe mode.

There's nothing under libraries...I've even tried to download/unzip twice...I have no htmldiff.py file.

Also my host is MyHosting & it's a shared server...I have nothing but file manager & ftp access to anything. So where do I disable php safe mode at? If it's in this file & I can get this file/upload it...that would be great.

If this has been answered I'm sorry but I didn't see a search feature on this page. Thanks for any help. :)

This file does not exist in the current 5.3 release either, and the same error message appears on the install screen.

Disabling safe mode is a separate issue -- needs to be done via php.ini, which is likely not possible on shared server hosting. Ask the host to turn it off on their end.

other posts on this topic, but in short, DPK is right in saying it's disabled in php.ini. Alternatively, some shared hosts provide mechanisms to pass domain-specific PHP directives through "conf" files that you would setup in the shared host file manager.

In Plesk (what I'm familiar with), there is a vhost.conf file for each domain in which you can provide specific PHP settings per domain.

Probably easier just to call the host and have them disable it for you.

Okay yesterday I was able to go in and fix that one. In your control panel under file manager. Do you have a search box? Search for the folder concrete/libraries/3rdparty/htmldiff once you find it change the permission to 755 then test again.

How? What line?

There's no "permission" or "safe mode" line anywhere in the file. Nor is there any property of the file itself that could be changed to 755.

I unzipped the C5 directory under XAMPP\htdocs. Is that not the correct method? Does it have to be FTP'd, even to a local server, for this advice to make sense?

chmod is apparently a UNIX command. I'm on an XP machine. How do I implement this advice?
