Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted April 21, 20204 yr Hello I tried everything I could to clear the alert from the back office : pcntl_exec but it doesn't matter Shared server Ok for configuration test I put in the .user.imi : disable_functions =pcntl_exec I've restarted Apache several times and waited But I still have the alert Can someone help me? I'm attaching the file user.ini Best regards .user.ini
April 21, 20204 yr I would recommend contacting your host for assistance. A user.ini file isn't necessarily supported on every server - your host would be able to tell you how to make php.ini configuration changes correctly.
April 21, 20204 yr Author Thank you for your response bfarber how important is it to disable pcntl_exec? Best regards
April 21, 20204 yr In the event your server is ever compromised, the function can be used to execute arbitrary programs on the server, which is a security risk. https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pcntl-exec

Best regards It's an important security recommendation, as that PHP function can be used to execute arbitrary applications should your site be otherwise compromised. It's part of a multi-layered approach to security. I'd recommend you do your best to work with your host to disable the function or look to find one that allows you to do so.
