Can I turn off PHP safemode on my virtual dedicated server?
By default, Plesk sets PHP to "safemode" during installation. To take PHP out of safemode, you need to remote connect to your virtual dedicated server and modify the php.ini file on the server.
To Turn Off PHP "safemode" on Your Linux Virtual Dedicated Server

safe_mode = onand press the "i" key. - Change the line to
safe_mode = offand press the "Esc" key. - Type

Once you have edited the file, you need to restart your Web server. You can restart your Web server using Plesk by selecting stop/start under the Server, Service Management section.
