Citat:

File Manager is a convenient tool for people restricted by safe_mode, but it is certainly not the only means to edit files. You can unlock the forum files and edit them via a regular FTP client or you could edit them with another PHP script.

Just out of couriosiry I wonder about the following scenario.
Assume that I've found a bug and wish to apply a patch to it. I then unlock the forum files and, via a FTP-tool, upload a patched version. This new file might then have ownership set to myuser:mygroup and not httpd:httpd. A while later you release a script to upgrade the forum to a new version. Isn't there then the risque that the upgrade script will get into trouble when trying to overwrite a file that httpd:httod isn't the owner of?

Some other scenarios exists but they're quite similar so I won't mention them.

No, I've not tried what actually happens since I'm not willing to screw everything up another time.

What's your verdict as an expert?
