What is this saying?!
 

On a new forum I'm working on I keep getting this message while trying to upload avatars, can anyone help?

Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid/gid is 13902/13902 is not allowed to access /tmp/vbupload0wcTCz owned by uid/gid 99/99 in /includes/class_upload.php on line 349

Warning: fopen(/tmp/vbupload0wcTCz) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /includes/class_upload.php on line 349

well looks like a chmod problem where it uploads too.

chmod 777 to try it out :)

I see. Could you please give me the appropriate steps to fix this?

In ftp manager right click and it should show chmod in their, then set it to 777 like shazz said

Depending on which FTP you use, or where your files are located. Most of the time you would right click and either chmod is there like whitemike said or it could be named properties

You can't use certain PHP FTP functions with safemode turned on. I would highly recommend you not use safemode, as many hacks and perhaps vb itself will have issues.

Safemode is off and I set to 777 and the message is still there...ugh, hate these kind of things.

Anyone...still having issue?

Those parts sound rather important.

Your host will either need to turn safe mode off or you can try using a htaccess file and see if you can bypass the restriction.

Safe mode is still on, look at the error ;).
