Wordpress MU and safe_mode
February 12th, 2009 — 2:23pm
Solution implemented on: Wordpress MU 2.7
INTRODUCTION
A change of server gave me some problems with La-ciel Blogs (wordpress MU implementation) because it has safe_mode on. In this article I describe the way I got problems solved.
safe_mode is a configuration directive that solves security problems derived from shared-servers, a way to get it is by disabling some functions including mkdir().
The restricted mkdir() does not allow applications (in this case Wordpress) to create directories with chmod 777 disabling subdirectories and subfiles creation, it means that you wont be able to upload files using your Wordpress back end. So when your server has safe_mode=on you get some problems.
