If you are required to alter the php safe mode setting for a software application you wish to run, you can do this a number of ways.

Within our hosting servers, shared and reseller clients can do this by creating a php.ini file and locating it in their root directory ( /home/username ) of their site.

1. Create a php.ini in your favorite editor. Usually notepad is best.

2. Turn safe mode on or off by adding a line to look like one of the options below:

safe_mode = Off

or if you wish to turn safe mode on

safe_mode = On

3. Save the file and upload to your root directory (/home/username) as php.ini

That's it!

You have now changed the individual php.ini safe mode setting for your account.
