There is no safe mode running on the server. Host could not find any problems and unfortunately was unfamiliar with the software (small chance, but was hoping).

Bearfoot,

This is the thread I was referring to when I asked you to create that test script. Have a read through it and see if there are any other similarities that may resolve it for you like the original poster..

Most of that is over my head. I’m trying to look through and come up with any solution or figure out exactly what it is he did there. I’m willing to try things, just not sure ‘what’ to try at the moment.

Hi Bearfoot,

GoDaddy places serious limitations on some of their Windows servers that prevent more complex PHP applications from functioning. So to dig a bit further:

1. Can you determine if the server is running IIS v6 or v7, please?

2. Can you post or MSG me the server path to where you’ve installed EE? This will be a windows-type path (e.g. c:\inetpub\wwwroot\), it will NOT start with http.

Do help determine this, you can create another test file named ‘whereami.php’ that should output the real path to itself. Place it in the site root. It’s a single line:

3. Are you certain you have ruled out switching to a *NIX server? This is going to be a better option in the long run, honestly.
