Since 1.0 Serendipty wouldn´t work with Safe Mode On

[foobar]

Hello,

I upgraded that weekend my Serendipity Installation to 1.0 (from 0.9.1)

Now I does not work with safe_mode = on. Because of the is_writable queries in the code.

Even when I do a chmod 1777 to the required folderes I won´t work. Unless I deactivate Safe mode.

Thats not what I wan´t. I want Serendipity with Safe mode.

When I really need that functions (e.g. Sparatacus) I will enabling it for the required time.

So in what files have you implemented the writable check and where a the depencies?

Hi!

Can you tell me the exact error message, from where do you get it? Then I can tell you where such a check might be implemented. I guess that it's within the serendipity_smarty_init()...

is_writable() should also properly return true or false in SafeMode environments if the permissions are correct. You might need to do a 0777 instead of 1777?

Hy garvinhicking,

I chmod archives, plugins, templates_c, uploads to 777 now. But got the same problem. (The installation page appears).

Hi!

Again, what error message do you get?

If the installation page appears, this means either no serendipity_config_local.inc.php file exists or it cannot be read.

Sorry garv,

If I would get an PHP error atm, I would post it. But I didn´t get one. Only that installation page.
I gave, for test, the serendipity_config_local.inc.php all rights. Nothing changes

Hi!

Oh, okay. You didn't properly describe your problem in first place.

What is your URL? And check your serendipity_config_local.inc.php file, does it contain all the right settings?

You wrote "because of the is_writable queries". Why do you suspsect these, and which exactly do you suspect?

Anyways - if only the installer pops up, it's definitely because either the file is not readable OR because your path settings in your serendipity_config DB table do not point to the right path and thus the file can't be found. I might be able to tell you the exact reason if you could give me temporary FTP access to your blog.

Best regards,

Hy garv,

thanks for your offer, but I found the bug now. I seems to depend on the useres which are provided in the .tar.gz.

I chown`ed the whole dir with the real user and I seems to work now.


Thanks for all!



Und danke, hast du echt super gemacht, Serendipity ist ein feines Stück Software!

Hi!

Ah, cool. I had thought you uploaded the file via FTP, which would result in an automatic owner change. It'S the first SafeMode Host I now know which provides SSH access.

Beste regards and have fun,
Garvin
