Hi,

The "SAFE MODE Restriction in effect" error states that the safe_mode is enabled in PHP. You can turn it off [but that's a bad idea] & check if the error persists. Further more, the occurrence of such error in the past was due to a bug in the OsCommerce, which can be easily fixed by following these steps:

Go to OsCommerce Admin area / Configuration / Sessions and change the "Sessions Directory" to tmp (no trailing slashes). Click save & recheck.

If you can't get into the Admin area, launch PHPMyAdmin > Click on any table on the left hand side > Click on SQL at the top of the screen
Overtype whatever appears in the SQL window with ...

UPDATE configuration SET configuration_value = 'tmp' WHERE configuration_key='SESSION_WRITE_DIRECTORY'

Finally click Go for the code to execute.

You can also just use phpMyAdmin to edit the value directly. It's in configuration table.

Session Directory SESSION_WRITE_DIRECTORY /tmp

Simply change /tmp to tmp. Make sure that the tmp directory in your oscommerce installation is world writable, so that the sessions are stored in them Let us know how that goes or if we can be of any further help.. Good luck !
