RabuYou can switch off PHP safe mode within your own hosting account.
First, create a plain-text file called .htaccess which is to be stored in your hosting account's public_html directory.
Inside this file, you should have the script: suPHP_ConfigPath /home/'username'/
Where 'username' represents your hosting account username.
Next create a plaintext file called php.ini (which should be located in your root directory when you login to FTP ie: /home2/'username'/)
In this file you must have the following line:
safe_mode = off
If you find that the application is not recognising this directive, some CPanel machines may require a different method of specifying "off" in the php.ini file. Try this instead:
safe_mode = 0
