YOUR PHP IS RUNNING UNDER SAFE MODE!
Many Elxis features, components and third party extensions have problems running under safe mode.
For your site's security we also recommend you to disable these PHP functions in php.ini (if you don't use them):
system, exec, passthru, shell_exec, suexec, dbmopen, popen, proc_open, disk_free_space, diskfreespace, set_time_limit, leak

Directory and File Permissions

In order for Elxis to function properly it needs folders cache and tmpr to be writable. If they are not writeable please make them writeable.
cache/ Unwritable
tmpr/ Unwritable
Depending on the situation Elxis might need to write to other folders too. For instance during a module installation Elxis will need to upload files on folder "modules". If you see "Unwriteable" you can change the permissions on directory to allow Elxis to be able write to it or, for maximum security, you may leave it unwriteable and make it writeable just before you are going to use it.

Note
If you enable FTP later, Elxis will be functional even if some of these folders are read-only.
