Hello All,

I was really curious about Gallery 3, so i decided to give beta 2 a try. In the installation manual i read the requirement that safe mode should be off.

As i am a stubborn person (and i succesfully ran website baker, which requires safe mode to be off also) i installed it, tried it, and guess what: it seems to work like a charm.

My web hoster is one.com which somehow got around it. But before i make the final decision to go for gallery 3, i'd like to check it all so i dont run into problems later.

Which features should i check really good to make sure it doesn't break later, and it it possible that a later release of gallery3 breaks this "compatibility"?

Thanks in advance

just get safe_mode off, it's a bad way to go about security and the PHP developers have realized that. Safe_mode has been removed from future versions of PHP.

Gallery will not work in safe_mode. No version of Gallery will work in safe_mode.

I don't want to discuss the use of safe_mode, i'm against using it as much as everybody else.

Only fact is my webhost uses it, and in contrast to what everybody says, Gallery 3 works just fine. So the statement "No version of Gallery will work in safe_mode" is just plain wrong.

Now i think of it, a long time ago i tried Gallery 2, which also worked fine after i trashed the check for safe_mode at install.

o.k. Let me put it this way. If it works, it works. If it doesn't I'll spend ZERO time trying to help or troubleshoot :) Windows, even though it's not supported, depending on the problem I'll consider taking a look at it. Like so: http://gallery.menalto.com/node/88980

But if safe_mode is turned on and something's not working, then I've already wasted more of my time reading the problem than I care to spend on it :)
