php safe mode on or disable_functions screwing up fantastico

[bsasninja]

If I enable php safe mode on, or disabling php functions with disable_functions at php.ini screw ups fantastico.

For example If I try to remove a software, I got the error shell_exec has been disabled for security reasons..

Is there a way to prevent this?

Well actually shell_exec commands can be controlled by your php.ini...

Look for "disable_functions", and you can take shell_exec out if you want, however, note that it's really not a bad idea to not allow users to access that command for security reasons.

As far as this "screwing" up fantastico, this may be something else. I'd recommend reinstalling it.

Fantastico runs fine in installing software, but when you remove things with safe mode on or disable_functions avaible, some errors appears.

I would like to know if there could be a different php.ini that apply just for fantastico apps. Cause is taking the php.ini configuration for the whole server.

thanks.

Have you tried the Fantastico support forums?
They'll probably have a lot more information on Fantastico related issues like this.

No fantastico does not use a separate php.ini
