Guest mpjx Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hi all, I shall be doing my first "non-test" install of CubeCart (the latest version 3.0.10) within the next 6 weeks for a client. I have to find suitable, robust hosting with plenty of monthly bandwidth. My usual hosting company (Media Temple) is great except that at the moment their shared services run with php in Safe Mode. There is an option to run php as cgi, eliminating most but not all of the Safe Mode restrictions. I'd really appreciate it if you could help my following questions: 1. Is there a definitive list available of the issues/problems involved in running CubeCart v3 under PHP with safe mode ON? 2. Are there work arounds for all the issues/problems created with safe mode ON? 3. Can anyone recommend a good alternative hosting company/package with safe mode OFF so that Cube Cart will work straight "out of the box"? Preferably UK based hosting so that I can get hold of tech support quickly if there's a problem. P.S. I'll be configuring Cube Cart to use SSL - don't know if this will make a difference. Thanks in advance for your help! Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gwizard Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 My host runs PHP in cgi mode and I have absolutely no problems. As for the Safe Mode, I never tried it, but I heard that there may be issues with images and thumbnail generation. Specifically with stat() directive.

Do you mind telling me which hosting company you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gwizard Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Sure, I use rotmax.com they are not the cheapest, but so far (3 years) I am VERY happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convict Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I use PHP with Safe mode ON with cubecart at one of my development site last year and no problem! Only issue was a PHP v4.3.11 but patched. Issue with JPEGs as fwizard has mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
