MyChub.ORG setbacks!

SITUATION
After a whole week of hard work (sleepless nights).. all gone down the drain. Reason ? our stupid host (localdns.com) had decided to change the main PHP setting to SAFE MODE = ON .

Result
Total haywire of the mychub.org due to incompatibilities with file permission. Some hand coded modules did not work anymore since it did not allow FTP upload.. but only through the MOS installer (... this sucks!). Which means i have to recompile the code and upload it using the MOS installer. This will take time and makes hand coding + testing of modules much much harder.

SHORT TERM REMEDIAL
Disable some of the modules and/or reinstall the 'stock' module. Bug fix some of the unfriendly SAFE MODE codes.

LONG TERM REMEDIAL
1. Test the modules on a testing server.
2. Recompile the 'custom' module and upload it.
3. Cross my fingers and hope it all works fine.

It's 3.30 AM and i'm too tired, hungry and depress at our host for their action to change anything without informing the customer 1st. Tomorrow I have a big meeting and I had not prepared anything ... YIKES !

I've been neglecting my own projects for too long. BTW the SMS system I'm developing using JAVA Tomcat has too many bugs inside. And now Oracle wants to charge me MYR 44,000.00 for my use of their database.

Today my brand new MYR 26,000.00 Dual Xeon server got infected with a virus and SpamCop had my server listed. My ISP is threatening to terminate my conection unless I do something about it. Called my vendor and they say they have no support for machines with virus problems. So what should I do ... ?

(but then this is work related - sorry for venting my frustrations here).
Life sucks !
