Like most hosters our hoster also has Safe Mode enabled. So many features of ckfinder don't work. Creating a map, deleting a map, uploading a file, deleting a file, creating thumnails etc.
The only solution (as far as i know) is using a FTP connection through PHP (ftp_connect). I used this before and it works really great. Because you let PHP connect via FTP and the create a map, delete a file etc, there is no problem with Safe Mode. Also you can make sure the CHMOD isn't always on 777. So no security problems.
Is it for you possible to use this way of connecting so there are no problems when Safe Mode is On?
Kind regards,
Jaap

Re: CKFinder PHP Save mode solution
It has some drawbacks, but as you noted it will definitely make CKFinder more safe_mode friendly.

Re: CKFinder PHP Save mode solution
I noticed that our hoster also has PHP5 where Safe Mode isn't a problem.
Re: CKFinder PHP Save mode solution
Just installed ckfinder. It all works, except for the thumbnail creation. Error has to do with safe mode being on and my provider won't turn it off.
Is there already a fix for this? Like the ftp solution perhaps? Googled for this solution but cannot find a good how-to yet.
Cheers!
