Backup and PHP shell_exec |
| Description |
Backup won't work because shell_exec is disabled |
| Message Text |
I'm just sorting out a new host to transfer an existing Links Directory (which I will update to version 6) and add to it new installations of Classified and Forum.
The host that I had thought I would use has several minor problems one of which is that Backup won't work because shell_exec is disabled.
So I thought that I had found yet another host that looks good in other respects (has suPHP etc.) so I asked about shell_exec - this is the reply.
"Actually shell_exec is currently enabled, but it won’t be for much longer, since we have plans to disable it for security reasons....I don’t think you will find many shared hosting providers with shell_exec enabled."
Is this going to cause any other difficulties with WSN scripts - I guess that I can do backups using other means. If it becomes normal for shared hosting to disable shell_exec are you likely to work around it?
