Safe Mode Requirement
I notice that one of the requirements is "safe mode off." Is this new for 2.1.2, or has this always been a requirement for 'plog? the reason I ask is one of our servers got hacked over the weekend, and it looks like running PHP without safe mode was the culprit. So I'm looking at having to enable safe mode on all my sites. I got a couple of them fixed, uploading attachments still works, etc. Even got vbSEO working in safe mode, with a few changes to .htaccess.
But 'plog is installed on the one site I haven't switched to safe mode yet. What features of 'plog rely on safe mode being off? -- hugh |

Safe mode being off has always been a requirement. It's just listed again with the other requirements. IMHO if anyone wants a gallery, storing files in a database or restricted directory isn't the way to go, as it's too much overhead or lacks flexibility. Personally speaking, I don't think PHP not in safe mode was the problem with your server being hacked. It's more likely that it was due to a bad script or old version of something or other. PhotoPlog needs safe mode off to process files. If you take a run through the code, it is unlikely, though not impossible as I'm not perfect, that you will find a tainted variable. If you have mod_rewrite abilities, this has always been a gem to stick in an htaccess file:

Morgan - please feel free to move this into a different thread, I really don't want to clutter up the release thread with safe mode discussions!

It gives an access denied when http:// is part of a query string.
