So, i've installed Drupal 7 and am running into a few errors.
First, I followed some advice that I found in the wiki for my host, and elsewhere, and changed my temp directory from /tmp to /home/public/FOLDERNAME (at least thats the SSH path, in Drupal it is /f5/SITENAME/public/FOLDERNAME).
My first question, is this correct? Does it need to be in /home/protected?
Now, on the configuration -> media page (where you set the above temp path) I get the following error:
Warning: file_put_contents() [function.file-put-contents]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid/gid is 197621/197621 is not allowed to access /f5/SITENAME/public/sites/default/files owned by uid/gid 25000/25000 in file_create_htaccess() (line 505 of /f5/SITENAME/public/includes/file.inc).
Warning: file_put_contents(sites/default/files/.htaccess) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in file_create_htaccess() (line 505 of /f5/SITENAME/public/includes/file.inc).
So, my extremely limited understanding tells me that some script owned by me (19721, the username shown when I have an SSH terminal open) cannot access my files directory, which is owned by the web group (25000).
What is the solution to this?
ALSO, when I try to install a theme, I run into this error:
