You've pretty much covered my experience with it.  I liken it to chroots --
useful when they work, but it means you have to be more careful and do more
fiddling around to make things work, and there are ways out of them in
certain circumstances.

[SLUG] Virtual hosts and PHP4 safe_mode

2004-09-04 Thread Matthew Davidson
Hi,
Just wondering if anybody on the list uses PHP's safe_mode directive. 
It seems to be the only viable solution to keeping people's noses out of 
each other's business in a virtual host environment, but it seems like 
it might break a lot of commonly-used scripts.

Any good or bad experiences?
Matthew.
