I am looking into setting up an e-Commerce site and I am currently setting up X-Cart. When installing this I get a message telling me that the following functions are disabled:

QUOTE

Disabled functions list ... 'system, dl,proc_open, proc_nice, proc_terminate, proc_get_status, proc_close, pfsockopen, leak, posix_kill, posix_mkfifo, posix_setpgid, posix_setsid, posix_setuid, escapeshellcmd'

I looked around my cPanel and I could not find anything to re-enable these. If someone could please point me in the right direction on enabling these please let me know.

Thank you!

Checkout the Configuration files. May be these functions are disabled by default.

OK I will have a look around my cPanel and see what I can find.

Here's my guess. I looked up some of the functions on php's manual. On most of them I found evidence that they might be linked to shell scripts and/or program execution:

SYSTEM():

CODE

<?php
echo '<pre>';

// Outputs all the result of shellcommand "ls", and returns
// the last output line into $last_line. Stores the return value
// of the shell command in $retval.
$last_line = system('ls', $retval);

// Printing additional info
echo '
</pre>
<hr />Last line of the output: ' . $last_line . '
<hr />Return value: ' . $retval;
?> 

Allows you to execute shell commands

ESCAPESHELLCMD():

Self explanatory - shell in the function name

So that trap17 is not abused, the shell feature (SSH) has been disabled. These look to be all SSH functions so you cannot enable them...

OK at least now I know not to waste my time looking around figuring out how to enabled these. Now I will have to continue my search for a different Cart to use.

hi all
some times server admin close some php Functions for more security i think its very good idea
some times php goes to hard and very bad lan . you must change your script and talk to script support for more info
for example
some host run in safe mode , if server run in safemode many Functions in php dosent run .
