Strange file permission woes.

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 509 is not allowed to access /home/virtual/site7/fst/var/www/html/ixius/auth owned by uid 48 in /home/virtual/site7/fst/var/www/html/ixius/install.php on line 91

Uhh.. my code is as follows..

$path = $this->site_root .'/auth';
@mkdir($path, 0755);
if( !is_dir($path) ) {
$this->error("Sorry, you need to chmod your root directory (". $this->site_root .") to 0755.");

line 91 is the first line in the following portion...

		$fp = fopen($this->site_root .'/auth/config.php', 'w');
		fputs($fp, '<?php\n\n');
		fputs($fp, '\t\$config_docroot = \$root;');
		fputs($fp, '\t\$configDB = \"'. $this->site_vars['site_db_name'] .'";');
		fputs($fp, '\t\$configTable = \"config";');
		fputs($fp, '\t\$configHost = \"'. $this->site_vars['site_db_host'] .'";');
		fputs($fp, '\t\$configUser = \"'. $this->site_vars['site_db_user'] .'";');
		fputs($fp, '\t\$configPassword = \"'. $this->site_vars['site_db_pass'] .'";');
		fputs($fp, '\n\n?>');
		fclose($fp);
		chmod($this->site_root .'/auth/config.php', 755);

You cannot access direct files while safe mode is on. Safe mode is an option in PHP that disables the ability to directly access files and low level things like that.
