Hi

When I try installing dragonfly CMS through "mysite".com/install.php I get

Warning: posix_getpwuid() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/pubsters/public_html/includes/cmsinit.inc on line 38

I was wondering why that is there? And maybe how to remove it so I can install the cms? Or is there another way to install the CMS without removing any part of the code?

Thanks

Its just a warning and it doesn't effect your install.

Hopefully your host hasn't disabled other functions, if so then they are too scared of their own system configuration.

But how do I continue the Install? I can't seem to get past that page warning.

Windows, Linux, Unix .... ?

I'm using Windows. Not sure about the hoster's system. If that's what you mean.

I mean your host or wherever DragonflyCMS is being installed.

Anyways hopefully you are not going to use Notepad or any Microsoft products to modify this file, use Notepad2, UltraEdit32, Notepad++ or anything else then open includes/cmsinit.inc and change line 31 with

Code::

if (!function_exists('posix_getpwuid') || WINDOWS || strpos(ini_get('disable_functions'), 'posix_getpwuid') !== false) {

I'm not too sure, I'll email them now and find out

Oh okayz. Lol. Well I duno how I'll edit that then. >.<

Okay nvm. I edited the file using notepad 2. Found it ^.^ But if i go back to /install.php via web browser, I still can't access the install.

All right my fault sorry, the correct one should be:

PHP:

if (strpos(ini_get('disable_functions'), 'posix_getpwuid') !== false || !function_exists('posix_getpwuid') || WINDOWS) {

Okay I replaced 31 with:

if (strpos(ini_get('disable_functions'), 'posix_getpwuid') !== false || !function_exists('posix_getpwuid') || WINDOWS) {

But I still get

Warning: posix_getpwuid() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/pubsters/public_html/includes/cmsinit.inc on line 38

When I try to access install.php

But I can access the directories, like /install if that helps.

Silly me, if a function is disabled then the function_exists return false, so even the original script will work.

Somehow they are disabling this and probably other functions from somewhere that its not php.ini.

if on top of the cmsinit.inc you put the below piece of code and then go to install.php do you see anything else?

PHP:

echo ini_get('disable_functions');

after you do this you can safely restore an original cmsinit.inc

I'm assuming when you said to put the code on top of the cmsinit.inc code to put that code umm...:

Like that, where I made it bold, then I still see the msg, just now it's on line 39. But I'm assuming I put it in wrong >.<!

Oh yeah and if I just put it in front of <?php then I just get:

echo ini_get('disable_functions');
Warning: posix_getpwuid() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/pubsters/public_html/includes/cmsinit.inc on line 39

But yeah I'm assuming I'm doing it wrong as i said >.<!!!
