CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated

So I keep getting this annoying error on multiple servers(its a warning, so I'd ignore it, but I need the function)

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set in /home/xxx/public_html/xxx.php on line 56

How would I go about fixing this via SSH?

curl php

Try this, If a redirect is required and safemode is enabled it will follow the link based on the header (If your grabbing images though this will not work as it adds the header to the return), this is a workaround to your specific problem, I had the same problem when a customer installed one of my script so had to come up with this.. It will also log errors to: curl.error.log.. useful eh

<?php 
function geturl($url) {
    (function_exists('curl_init')) ? '' : die('cURL Must be installed for geturl function to work. Ask your host to enable it or uncomment extension=php_curl.dll in php.ini');

    $curl = curl_init();
    $header[0] = "Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,";
    $header[0] .= "text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5";
    $header[] = "Cache-Control: max-age=0";
    $header[] = "Connection: keep-alive";
    $header[] = "Keep-Alive: 300";
    $header[] = "Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7";
    $header[] = "Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5";
    $header[] = "Pragma: ";

    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0 Firefox/5.0');
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_REFERER, $url);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_ENCODING, 'gzip,deflate');
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    //curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); //CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION Disabled...
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);

    $html = curl_exec($curl);

    $status = curl_getinfo($curl);
    curl_close($curl);

    if ($status['http_code'] != 200) {
        if ($status['http_code'] == 301 || $status['http_code'] == 302) {
            list($header) = explode("\r\n\r\n", $html, 2);
            $matches = array();
            preg_
