Enable Safe mode in VPS

[arianetwork]

Any body know how can i Enable Safe mode in my VPS and how can i Disable Remote file include in my VPS

Are you referring to PHP settings? If so, these can be done in the php.ini file. Depending on your configuration the file will probably be in either /etc or /usr/local/Zend/etc (but it could be somewhere totally different). The easiest way to find it is to do a phpinfo() and look for the "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" near the top of the output.

To turn on safe mode, find safe_mode in the file and change it to:
safe_mode = on

By remote file include I think you are refering to the URL fopen wrapers (which allow you to access files with URLs instead of file system paths). If so, find the "allow_url_fopen" setting and change to:
allow_url_fopen = off

If you are runing PHP as an Apache module (mod_php), you'll need to restart Apache to make the change take effect.

Hope this helps.
