Joomla and Community Builder

[RcRoderick]

Was curies if there was something on the server end that was maybe stopping the community builder extension from being used. Because it installs cleanly and properly, and yet for some reason i cannot access my configuration page for it. The page simply loads as blank. Normally i would figure there was a install error, but everything else has checked out, hence host side was really the only other explanation that seemed possible, because it even works when i copied my page locally and it works fine.

Check your error log in cPanel, there may be a function being blocked that will be listed there.

Thanks Corey it was due to the calling of the exec function which i need php3 for, and i already put in the request for it. Thanks for the assistance

No problem, do you know what it's trying to use exec for? v3 requests are not granted that often so it's best to check for a work around.

Not entirely sure on the reason for Community Builder itself needing it, But From what i have researched into the matter its due to the fact CB is a bridge between joomla and the other active componets. Also i noticed later to make life easy on me, that Gallery2 (Fantisco only installs gallery1) the remote install scripts also requires the exec function that is because it is copying files over.

*Edit* Also i can understand the reasoning by not granting to many v3 request, but if possible am more then willing to work with you, on maybe only setting the specific functions i may need, as opposed to going with the full v3, i have no problems going back and forth between the error log, and letting you know exactly the functions i may need to keep the security risks on your end to a minimum.
