php safe mode and ci upload

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
hi there,

trying to create an image upload form (which resizes them on the fly, creates thumbnails etc).

but apparently the server is running safe_mode, and I'm getting this error (had to modify the upload library to actually see it):

Code:

Message: copy() [function.copy]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 10073 is not allowed to access /var/www/vhosts/######.###/httpdocs/project_images/2 owned by uid 33

How do I make it work in this case, with safe_mode on? All ideas will be helpful.

Cheers,
Martin
