Hello, actually safe mod is enabled by default. But some users need safe_mod disabled, that is not possible with fastcgi for each users,?! In php 5.3 is safe_mod deprecated, but configurable. My question is, can safe mod a security problem if it's disabled on php 5.3? Thank you

  I haven't been using the safe_mod function since years ago, If your kernel is patched and users are in jail and also PHP/Apache is hardened there wouldn't be any security issue because safe_mod is disabled on your PHP .

  Hello :) This feature is deprecated as of PHP 5.3.0 and removed as of PHP 5.4.0. You should use alternative methods for increased security instead of using this feature. Thank you.
