Well, I do test the install/upgrade script in safe_mode enviroment, so far I had not come across any problems.

Chowning the files away from webserver is actually a 'bad' thing, since it'll cause problems when you will try to upgrade.

Safe mode works by comparing the owner of the file and the files/directories it tries to open. Meaning that as long as forum's files are owned by the same user who is trying to open then you are ok.

I've reinstalled the software and all worked fine. You are correct about chowning. After my first install, two weeks ago, I noticed that the applications is creating and accessing files, it therefor requires the proper access. Chowning could disturb this.

Quote:

Now, safe_mode has no affect on the FTP, so you will able to download/upload files from your computer without problems. If you do encounter access problems, go to the Forum's Lock/Unlock control panel and Unlock the forum's files.

Through FTP I do not have access to e.g. the forum data directory. See below:

drwxr-xr-x   13 48       48           4096 Oct  7 12:07 forum_data

In this case user and group assigned to my forum_data directory are both '48' (apache). Through my 'admin' account I only have r_x access.
However, I did noticed that the 'File Administration System' option from the FUD Admin page does give me some access. (Probably everything I need.) I'm able to upload files and even chmod files!! (Understandable since the php-scripts run under the 'apache' account.)
However, I was surprised to be able to chmod files since I thought that this was not allowed when safe-mode is being used.

Thanks for all your support!!
Cheers, Patrick
