To all who contributed to this thread, many thanks... I tried all the suggestions offered but still had the same problem. Today I copied php.ini-dist over to /etc, restarted Apache and everything works. This process was repeated many times during the last day or so, so I don`t know what happened to make it work this time.
Anyhowze, my shell_exec`s are working now, so I`m a happy camper... Thanks again to all who assisted, muchly apreciated. -- Chris Blake Support Consultant Office : (011) 782-0840 Fax : (011) 782-0841 Mobile : 083 985 0379 Website: http://www.pbpc.co.za THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES #10: SIMPLE SIMPLE is an acronym for Sheer Idiot's Monopurpose Programming Language Environment. This language, developed at the Hanover College for Technological Misfits, was designed to make it impossible to write code with errors in it. The statements are, therefore, confined to BEGIN, END and STOP. No matter how you arrange the statements, you can't make a syntax error. Programs written in SIMPLE do nothing useful. Thus they achieve the results of programs written in other languages without the tedious, frustrating process of testing and debugging. 10:29:53 up 22 days, 1:59, 3 users, load average: 0.52, 0.19, 0.13 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
