Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Square Wheels Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 I have a VPN that I can manage though WHM. I tried to disable the listed dangerous functions, but it didn't seem to work. I went to cPanel --> MultiPHP INI Editor --> Editor Mode --> Home Directory and added this to the bottom: disable_functions = exec, system, passthru, popen, proc_open, shell_exec Then back to WHM --> Terminal --> service httpd restart These functions still are listed as enabled. I'm sure I did something wrong, suggestions?
CoffeeCake Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Not familiar with WHM, however if you can edit your php.ini, that's where you'd add the disabled_functions line. https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/security/how-to-edit-your-php-ini-file/ This appears to be related to what you're trying to do, and it sounds similar to what you've tried. Are you using php-fpm? If so, you'll need to restart the php-fpm service.
Square Wheels Posted January 18, 2021 Author Posted January 18, 2021 WHM - Web Host Manager. It allows me to control the server level settings. A dangerous thing for someone like me. I don't understand putty or SSH, I have a tool called Terminal that is similar. I have separate sites listed, each with their own cPanel. I followed the steps above to edit the php.ini file that controls the individual site, then I (think) I restarted the service by going to Terminal and running service httpd restart. Not sure what php-fpm is or how to restart it. I am just a guy running some hobby sites and wanted to remove this message from my ACP.
