Abdul.

I've just had a look at this app, to see how easy it will be to roll up 
as a module. A test install has come up with the following recommendations:

Safe mode: Recommended OFF
open_basedir: Recommended OFF
Memory Limit: Recommended 48 Meg.

Without even looking at anything else, I am a little skeptical about any 
app that is asking you to disable these basic security parameters. I am 
even more confused as to why it would need 48 meg memory limit. All 
other PHP apps on my server run fine in 16 meg...

If you run 48 meg for this app in a vsite, and someone hammers that 
vsite, you'll find your server quickly using up lots of available memory 
for your apache instance....

Conclusion: I am not surprised you had problems with this app. My 
suggestion, turn around and run for the hills!

Greg.
