Activate shell_exec(), proc_open() functions...
This guide explains how to enable the following functions on Web Hosting (in red, Managed Cloud Server only):
- proc_open
- popen
- exec()
- shell_exec()
- set_time_limit
- passthru
- system
These functions are disabled by default because they represent a significant security risk in case of a website hacking. Enable them only when there is a real need (for a script or CMS like ImageMagick, Typo3, CraftCMS, etc.).
