#2 PHPix and SuSE don't play well together

For some reason, people running SuSE complain on no thumbnails being generated. The filesystem appears to be mounted to let suid scripts run; could it be that PHP is compiled without support for running external programs? Only time (and a few helpful PHPix beta testers) will tell...

I need another tester, everyone seems to have fallen off the
map. Any takers?

The problem is not SuSE nor is it with PHP. It is that SuSE
comes with PHP in Safe mode. That is, PHP does not have the
ability to run scripts per the configuration file.

To fix, open up /etc/httpd/php.ini in a text editor. Do a
search on the word "safe_mode". SuSE has this variable set
to On. Change it to Off and save the php.ini file.

Now do 'rcapache restart' to restart the web server. phpix
should run fine now.
