 * I’m trying to upload images to an old WordPress website (2.8.4) that’s currently
   on a Plesk server. It’s using an old copy of NextGEN Gallery (1.3.6), but I’m
   unable to upload files or create thumbnails.
 * Here are the server settings:
 *     ```
       Operating System : WINNT
           Server : Microsoft-IIS/7.5
           Memory usage : 15.7 MByte
           MYSQL Version : 5.1.61-community
           SQL Mode : Not set
           PHP Version : 5.2.17
           PHP Safe Mode : On
           PHP Allow URL fopen : On
           PHP Memory Limit : 128M
           PHP Max Upload Size : 10M
           PHP Max Post Size : 8M
           PHP Max Script Execute Time : 60s
           PHP Exif support : No
           PHP IPTC support : Yes
           PHP XML support : Yes
       ```
   
 * The weird thing is inside the Plesk Control Panel, PHP Safe Mode has been turned
   OFF. Here are those settings:
 *     ```
       safe_mode - off
       safe_mode_include_dir - Default
       safe_mode_exec_dir Default
       include_path - Default
       session.save_path - Default
       mail.force_extra_parameters - Default
       register_globals - Default
       open_basedir - {DOCROOT}\;{TMP}\
       error_reporting - Default
       display_errors - Default
       log_errors - Default
       allow_url_fopen - Default
       file_uploads - Default
       short_open_tag - Default
       magic_quotes_gpc - Default
       ```
   
 * Is there any way to ‘trick’ NextGEN Gallery to say that Safe Mode is OFF?
 * Thanks
