Hi xchs,
Thanks for the reply, and for identifying the problem. I've just now run the System Check Tool and it does suggest that I run the Safe Mode Hack.
The System Check Tool also reports that a number of files are "corrupt" which is disturbing.
I am unable to run the Safe Mode Hack, as FTP is not available on the server, and I'm unable to change servers or to enable FTP. I can make the local configuration file - and any others as necessary - writable, but I note that the System Check Tool says: "Under no circumstances should you try to solve this problem by changing the file permissions!"
In the short term, I have solved the problem by directly editing the "localconfig.php" file, eg:
Code:
$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['lockPeriod'] = 1;
and this works OK, although it's not an ideal work around long term.
If I can ask a couple further questions:
Is there a recommended way to enable Safe Mode type functionality in the absence of FTP?
What are the dangers if I ignore the System Check Tool warning message and change the "localconfig.php" file permissions (and other files as required)?
What is the best way to deal with files reported as "corrupt" by System Check Tool - can I simply replace these files from Contao core on source forge?
Thanks for your attention.
