Some problems after changing provider

Hi experts.

Now I'm working on my first Dolphin site for a few weeks to make myself familiar and to customize some things.

I changed my hosting provider because I could not use the videos (no exec). Now I have a vServer and copied the site and database and changed the pathes (eg. in header.inc.php). The site and videos are working now ^^ but there are some problems I could not solve myself. The problems are:

1. language compiling is not possible (after changing the string it is stored to the database correctly. but I get the message: Error: could not recompile language file. and there are no changes on the site)

2. after setting up the cronjobs I get the message in mail: <b>Warning.</b> Dolphin cannot work in safe mode but safe mode is OFF. http://oldtimergemeinschaft.de/test.php After installing a new test system (not copied) there is the same issue with cronjobs. The server runs on openSuSe 10.3 with plesk. Other cronjobs (eg. webalizer) are working fine.

After days of trying and testing I can't solve the issues myself. I would like to launch the site but need a solution for the problems. Maybe someone of you can help

Ok... now I installed Dolphin on a new, different server (Debian 4). As expected the language compiling is working and also the "Forum Posts" are shown on the index page (yeah). Unfortunalety the crons are still not working. I get the email message: <b>Warning.</b> Dolphin cannot work in safe mode. So I can't beleve it is a server problem. There were no warnings or problems while installation. I need to send mass mails :-(

tom,

i know you have probably done this already, but can you post a link to your phpinfo() file, and we can take a look at it. this does seem odd. also, have you downloaded a fresh zipped set of files and see if this works for you? i wouldnt know why it would report to you that safe_mode is on if in fact it is off, that is just crazy.

Finally, 24 hours later, I found the solution. And as you can imagine it is a simple thing. There are two php.ini files on my server. Both have the same content. In my case the php.ini path for apache is /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini. Apache grabs the setting from this php.ini and the Dolphin site works fine.

The cronjobs grabbing the settings from /etc/php5/cli/php.ini. After editing the safe_mode to Off in that file the crons are working.

If someone of you have the same problem put the lines:

<?php
var_dump(get_cfg_var('cfg_file_path'));
?>

in top of the notifies.php file. In the email you can get the result eg.:

string(21) "/etc/php5/cli/php.ini"

If you get the result remove the lines...

I put it in and now get no emails

Any thoughts?
