Server issue or what? running PHP in safe mode

Hi everybody.

I assume this error is caused by some settings on the server?

Warning: curl_setopt(): CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /hsphere/local/home/finekler/finekler.com/admin/includes/functions/localization.php on line 74 Warning: curl_setopt(): CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /hsphere/local/home/finekler/finekler.com/admin/includes/functions/localization.php on line 74 Warning: curl_setopt(): CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /hsphere/local/home/finekler/finekler.com/admin/includes/functions/localization.php on line 74 Warning: curl_setopt(): CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /hsphere/local/home/finekler/finekler.com/admin/includes/functions/localization.php on line 74 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /hsphere/local/home/finekler/finekler.com/admin/includes/functions/localization.php:74) in /hsphere/local/home/finekler/finekler.com/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 34

Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

Forgot to tell that the issue is when trying to update currencies in admin.

This is normally a setting that the server admin sets, and is normally only used in virtual server sharing.

You can check the status in you admin > tools > server Info
scroll down to Configuration PHP Core and check the safe mode settings:

safe_mode	                     Off	       Off
safe_mode_exec_dir	         no value	no value
safe_mode_gid	                   Off	             Off
safe_mode_include_dir	         no value	no value

If you find that one or more schema of safemode is enabled this is normally only settable by the hosting company. Unless you have a php.ini file installed for you and it is configured to allow you to override these settings.

Thanks for quick reply.

Here's the settings for this server:

safe_mode On On
safe_mode_exec_dir no value no value
safe_mode_gid On On
safe_mode_include_dir no value no value

Seems to me that I have to contact the hosting company.

Thanks!

I had the same problem updating currencies (Zencart ver 1.3.6 - fresh install). Interestingly, the currencies STILL updated, despite the report of this error. I contacted the hosting company, who said the problem lay in the script.

I then opened:

admin/includes/functions/localization.php

and changed:

(Line 76) curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

to:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);

:unsure:

... but when I did a currency update shortly thereafter, hey presto - no error, and the currencies updated correctly as well!

Have NO IDEA if what I did is "legal", or sets off a h-bomb somewhere on the planet, but it seems to work...
:smile:

You could also try adding:

php_flag safe_mode off

to your .htaccess file, although this may not work if your host has disallowed local changes.

Hi

I too hit this same problem - followed schoolboys instructions and problem is sorted.
