PHP Safe Mode

Hi

I have just downloaded the latest version of ZC. Whilst going through the "installer" I see that the PHP Safe Mode has to be turned off!

I have been in contact with my host and they inform me that the safe mode can not be dissabled:cry: they have also said that when they eventually implement PHP5 that I will be able to change the ini. myself if they decide to run it in CGI mode....

Now will ZC run with the safe mode on or am I flogging a dead horse here?:sleepy:

I have a resellers account on which I host all my sites and I didnt really want to have to open another server account! Or should I stop wasting my time and open a server account elsewhere that will be more suitable for ZC????

TIA

Al

For your reference.
What are the Server requirements to run Zen Cart?

Can I run PHP as CGI on my Linux/Unix webserver?
