disable_functions and safemode for Apache 2.2 ?!!

Hey everybody
I got a VPS and I'm a newbie in server management stuff

I was compiling apache well when using version 1.3
but after deciding to change the apache to version 2.2 with cgi mode and php5 on cPanel

I got a problem in some of my sites when I try to enable a function in some directory and put on the safe mode off in some directories

as the master value for the safe mode on the server is on
and some scripts have to work under safe mode off environment

in the old apache version I use htaccess file while place the code in it but when I do this on apache 2.2 it give me internal server error page

some friends suggest that I use php.ini in place of htaccess file
and when I do it nothing changed

so is there a way to change the value from the httpd.conf to an exact folders
or do it by any other way?

Thanks

 

Hello. You have cPanel make sure you are looking in the correct folder. It happened to me before. Also make sure you restart apache.
Commands:

Or you may use:

But I don't prefer that method as it doesn't always work correctly.

 

you don't understand me well
my server is work gr8 and my php script also
but some of them are required to have special functions to be enabled or safe mode to be off
while I disable some function that is required to scripts in the server
and I have put safe mode on

so I need to just enable it to some folders or to enable some functions that is already disabled by the server configuration

it was okay to do this in apache 1.3 with php4 but in apache 2.2 in cgi mode with php5 it cannot be by .htaccess or php.ini files

so is there a way to do so?

 

php_admin_flag safe_mode 0

Place that in htaccess.

 

it doesn't work with my configuration I don't know why
I put it in htaccess and it gave me Internal Server Error and when I place it in a custom php.ini
it doesn't change the local value
