cannot disable safe_mode

PHP 4.4.0 Apache 1.3.27 Fedora Core 2 I'm getting "SAFE MODE Restriction in effect." warnings when a script attempts to use PEAR modules, but safe_mode shouldn't be on. phpinfo() shows: safe_mode On On safe_mode_exec_dir /usr/local/php/bin /usr/local/php/bin safe_mode_gid Off Off safe_mode_include_dir no value no value Configuration File (php.ini) Path /usr/local/apache/conf/php.ini # grep safe_mode /usr/local/apache/conf/php.ini (comments removed) safe_mode = 0 safe_mode_gid = 0 safe_mode_include_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php" safe_mode_exec_dir = safe_mode_allowed_env_vars = PHP_ safe_mode_protected_env_vars = LD_LIBRARY_PATH sql.safe_mode = Off Anybody have an idea why my php.ini settings are not being read properly? This is an old box which i don't really want to get into upgrading right now, but i'd really like to be able to run something from it for testing. I have no desire to use safe_mode here. brian
