Hallo!

When I try to create a backup of my gallery I get the following feedback:
`
Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 10002 is not allowed to access /var/www/vhosts/georgs-bu.de/subdomains/julia/httpdocs/galerie/backup owned by uid 33 in /var/www/vhosts/georgs-bu.de/subdomains/julia/httpdocs/galerie/zp-core/utilities/backup_restore.php on line 143

The only words that make sense to me are "Safe mode are in restriction" - that's something my webhoster has to decide (which he won't, I asked him...)

Is there some way to create a backup?

Sorry, no. Zenphoto is being prevented from creating the file. I would seriously consider getting a different provider. SAFE MODE is both not safe and not conducive to many scripts because if prevents what should be considered 'normal' operation.

See http://us.php.net/features.safe-mode
and http://www.breakingpointsystems.com/community/blog/php-safe-mode-considered-harmful

Looking at where the failure occurs, it might be possible for you to bypass it by insuring that the permissions on the backup folder are relaxed so that Zenphoto is able to read/write/execute the folder.

OK. The permissions for the backup folder are drwxrwxrwx - I guess, there's nothing more to relax.

Thank you for your help.

Georg
