shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons?!!

[mhs135]

I have a free hosting account in x10hosting.com

My site is: http://intellibux.co.cc

For two three days, my site was down and when I sent a support ticket today, it got resolved. But from that instant onwards a php error shows in every pages as shown below:

Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/mhs135/public_html/lib/lib_functions.php on line 12

Also some functions in my site got disabled maybe because of this error.

This error was not there before the site was down.

Somebody pls help me regarding this,

Thanks

You will have to file the request to enable it . Some of the function are disabled to security reasons

I'm not so sure about that. A lot of people are all having PHP related problems.

According to this post, the problem is known about & they don't want hundreds more support requests ; http://forums.x10hosting.com/free-hosting/98290-read-if-you-have-missing-files-2.html#post548371 :dunno:

Whats odd is I don't recall either shell_exec OR exec being allowed at any point in x10's past other than when a new server was still in the process of being set up.

I might be mistaken obviously, but I really don't recall either of them being allowed except by accident :S

I believe this is true as well. shell_exec() and exec() were PHPV3 only functions for free users.

I believe this is true as well. shell_exec() and exec() were PHPV3 only functions for free users.

To my souvenir, it was enabled only, I believe, for the installation of MediaWiki...

I can't think of a reason it is necessary from a programming perspective, but I can understand that if your software uses it, you would want it to work
