disable_functions =pcntl_exec

[James LUCAS]

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

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.

Thank you for your response bfarber how important is it to disable pcntl_exec?

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.

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.
