tinoky Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Hi, In the system/overview/security there is a "high" that says the following: Quote High Disable Dangerous PHP Functions We recommend disabling the following functions on your server. If you do not manage your server yourself, your hosting provider will be able to assist with this. proc_open I have DirectAdmin and should be able to adjust it myself. I did find how to get to the php disable_functions in DirectAdmin, but have no idea what to add or remove from it. The following is mentioned: system,exec,shell_exec,passthru,proc_get_status,proc_nice,proc_terminate,dl,popen,pcntl_exec What is it and why does it have such a high security risk? Can I make it secure without any problems? How do I make it secure? TIA, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IveLeft... Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Find your php.ini file and add proc_open to the disabled_functions line, then restart your web server (ie apache) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinoky Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 Thanks for your help. Within DirectAdmin I do not find a php.ini file I go to the PHP version and there I added proc_open in disable_functions. And I do not see how I can restart apache in DirectAdmin. The warning is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinoky Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 Ok, found what I was doing wrong, there was a double save feature which I overlooked. Fortunately I did not need to restart the web server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
