Hi there,

I've got a Drupal 4.3.2 installation up and running. My provider has a recent PHP-Installation under Apache 1.3.xx with Safemode enabled.

First question: is it possible to patch the ping.module in a way, that it pings other directories (like blogg.de e.g.) than the predefined ones? If so, what do I need to change to make it work? Has perhaps some kind reader a working real life example out there and would be so kind to share it with me?

Second question: As stated above, my provider has the Safemode of PHP enabled. No way around. So, when I run the Cron-script, it always warns me about the fact that set_time_limit() is not allowed in Safemode. Does this anyhow affect the running of Cron or is it possible to run it normally even if Drupal whines about the Safemode and that set_time_limit() is not possible?

Third question: How can I set a locale for date/time-formats other than US?

Greetings,
Herbie
