webmaster1 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I'm installing a software on a hosted web account. My web host doesn't allow use of shell_exec() unless I upgrade to a private server. I need this for object caching. Does anyone know of a work-around? I read an article that suggested replacing the function with something like curl. Here's the installation report: PHP 5.2.8 installed Found database drivers for: MySQL SQLite PHP server API is cgi; using ugly URLs (index.php?title=Page_Title) Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. Session save path (/tmp) appears to be valid. PHP's memory_limit is 32M. Couldn't find Turck MMCache, eAccelerator, APC or XCache; cannot use these for object caching. Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/... Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/... GNU diff3 not found. Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. Installation directory: /home/... Script URI path: /anstrell/wiki Installing MediaWiki with php file extensions Environment checked. You can install MediaWiki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
