Setting PHP Safe Mode

Turning PHP Safe Mode Off (and on if so inclined)
If you have problems installing an application, creating new sub-directories, etc., chances are the issue is related to PHP Safe Mode being on. This tutorial will show you how to turn it off (or on) as the case may be.

Go to the Websites & Domains Tab
Go to the Websites & Domains tab in your Plesk account and look for the "Show Advanced Operations" at the bottom of the page and click it.



Website Scripting and Security
Click on the Website Scripting and Security link in the advanced options.



PHP Settings Tab
Once you are in the Hosting settings for your domain, click on the PHP settings tab as illustrated in the image below.



Changing Safe Mode Settings
Now you can actually turn the PHP Safe Mode settings off (or on) by looking for the safe_mode settings field and selecting the drop down (which will say default) and changing it to off (or on).



That's it, now you should be able to install your application or create that new directory.
