FATAL: You got Safe Mode turned ON in php.ini file
You have to turn it OFF to let this script work

*** Cleaning...
*** Script terminated

[root@localhost pdm_4-1]#

but php.ini does not turn On Safe Mode.

[root@localhost pdm_4-1]# find -name php.ini
./php-4.3.11/pear/tests/php.ini
[root@localhost pdm_4-1]# cat ./php-4.3.11/pear/te
template.spec tests
[root@localhost pdm_4-1]# cat
./php-4.3.11/pear/tests/php.ini
; php.ini for PEAR tests
include_path=..
[root@localhost pdm_4-1]#

I modified the first line of pdm.php as follows:
[root@localhost pdm_4-1]# head pdm.php
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
<?php
/* vim: set tabstop=3 shiftwidth=3: */

// don't remove this. I don't expect you see any
warning/error in my c00l c0d3{tm} ;-)
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Did this before the problem reported above.

Where do I go next?

thanks

I'll investigate. if you really sure you got safe mode off,
just rip off or comment the followin code, around line 1292:

1292 // checking how is your PHP configured...
1293 if( ini_get('safe_mode') != "" )
1294 {
1295 // Franly it's not fully true. The script
would work with
1296 // safe mode too, but since we wouldn't be
able to i.e.
1297 // increate time limit, nor to read some files
or calls
1298 // external tools in most cases, to avoid
'bug' reports
1299 // we better claim it's user-fault ;)
1300 printf("FATAL: You got Safe Mode turned ON in
php.ini file\n");
1301 printf(" You have to turn it OFF to let
this script work\n");
1302 Abort();
1303 }

either remove it completely or remove/comment the Abort();
stuff.
