Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Hi all,
Just installed drush on my Mediatemple (dv), trying to run drush i get the safe_mode = off issue. Some mentioned that there was a seperate php.ini for CLI, but i was unable to locate it on my system. And not willing to do a global safe_mode=on in my php.ini, i scorged the interwebz for some help.. NONE available!
So while looking into the docs of the php CLI (http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php) i found the -d command line option.
"This option allows you to set a custom value for any of the configuration directives allowed in php.ini."
So changed the ./drush file, one of the last lines
From:
/usr/bin/env php $SCRIPT_PATH "$@"
To:
/usr/bin/env php -d safe_mode=Off $SCRIPT_PATH "$@"
SALUTÉ
Worked!
If running low on mem you could also change it to this.
/usr/bin/env php -d memory_limit=512M -d safe_mode=Off $SCRIPT_PATH "$@"
This could also be done alot nicer by putting it into ie. a PHP_OPTIONS variable.
/usr/bin/env php $PHP_OPTIONS $SCRIPT_PATH "$@"

Comment #1
greg.1.anderson commentedSafe mode is deprecated in php 5 and will be removed in php 6; that said, though, it would be innocuous to force it off for drush as suggested above, and might save a person or two some trouble.
The enclosed patch forces safe mode off as described above. The php-cli branch is not touched, under the assumption that if folks are running on a site with a separate php-cli, then they can just turn off safe mode in the cli php.ini file.
Worth doing? There is some risk that this might cause drush to stop working when php 6 comes out, but I don't think there's a good way of investigating that in advance.

moshe weitzman commentedthis is too much for drush imo.
