Hi,

By default when php is set to safe mode it will only open files if they have
the same UID you can change safe_mode_gid to on to allow php to open files
with the same GID. You could also set safe_mode to off and then it won't do
any checking and run the files.

UID stands for user id and GID stands for group id.

You change the safe_mode or safe_mode_gid settings in the php.ini file which
is normally located somewhere in /etc


Kind Regards,
Anthony Irwin
