Manage the advanced PHP functions of a web hosting

This guide explains how to enable the following functions on Web Hosting (in italics, Cloud Server only):

  • proc_open
  • popen
  • exec()
  • shell_exec()
  • set_time_limit
  • passthru
  • system

 

These functions are disabled by default as they pose a significant security risk in case of a website hack. Only enable them if there is a real need (for a script or CMS ImageMagick, Typo3, CraftCMS, etc.).
