Safe Mode Restriction

smubo

I'm having a problem with my file upload script:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 2975 is not allowed to access /home/www/web12/html/files/Bilder/fdsa owned by uid 30 in /home/www/web12/html/admin/include/files/upload.inc.php on line 9

The cruitial part in the Document that's producing the error:

$uploadDir = '../files/' . $_POST['system_mainfolder_root'] . '/' . $_POST['system_folder_root'] . '/';
    $uploadFile = $uploadDir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
    echo $uploadFile . "<br>"; 
	echo $_FILES['userfile']['name'] . "<br>";;
	if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadFile))
    {
    echo "file upload erfolgreich";
	exit;
	}

Since this file is hosted at a professional supplier, I am not able to change the php-configuration. Is there a different way to get the file uploaded anyways or am I just to stupid to write a errorless script?

I'm sorry, if there is another thread that covers this problem. I have not been able to find a suiting solution. I also have been researching the Internet for a hint.

Thanks a lot for your help!

I can think of 2 things.

1) make sure you are writing into the right dirrectory (moving the file).
2) PHP often runs as a low priviledged user, perhaps it doesnt not allow moving because of this and you may have to change the permissions of that dirrectory. e.g. chmod 777 for world readable. You can easily do this if you got shell access, and also via ftp.

HOpe that helps

Well, thos are two good ideas, but (kind of) unfortunately, both the directory variable and the chmod are correctly set.

Ty for the efford anyways 🙂
