Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons
Posted by ashish1987, 09-15-2007, 12:39 AM Hey I installed status2k on my server and i am encountering this error. You can take a look at the errors on http://tinyurl.com/264tot I even tried disabling shell_exec and exec from php.ini but that too didnt resolve the issue. Is there a way i can get this thing to run without / with enabling shell_exec? Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks
Posted by vnsg, 09-15-2007, 12:43 AM You shouldn't disable shell_exec and exec in php.ini to solve the issue. It is fine if you are running your own dedi box
Posted by ashish1987, 09-15-2007, 01:06 AM Hey I do not wish to enable shell_exec and exec but i need to get the script running. Please help
Posted by cywkevin, 09-15-2007, 01:50 AM You need to edit your php.ini file find disable_functions and remove the entry for shell_exec then restart apache
Posted by dollar, 09-15-2007, 02:07 AM The script requires shell_exec to operate. The error you are seeing is saying "Hey Mister! I can't work because shell_exec has been disabled!" There is most likely no way around it, but you can try contacting the creator of status2k and seeing for sure.
Posted by YYamagishi, 09-15-2007, 02:29 AM This script needs to run commands on the shell in order to bring up the status data. There is no way you can run it without enabling shell_exec
Posted by CretaForce, 09-15-2007, 07:48 AM If you run php as fastcgi you can create a new php.ini that applies only to the account you have status2k installed.
