Can't seem to get rid of this problem. Have talked to host support, first support person said need to create php.ini file and placed this in the public_html folder
disable_functions = "exec,system,passthru,pcntl_exec,popen,proc_open,shell_exec"
did not work, called host back, got different support person and they stated "oh, we don't allow php.ini on a shared server" so need to make a .users.ini file with the same code as above. That did not work either still got notification in the acp. I then placed the .user.ini in the forum folder did not work, placed the php.ini in the forum folder did not work. It is my understanding that the disable_functions does not work in a .user.ini file?
This problem only started after upgrading to 4.7.2.1 from 4.5 version
How do I get this problem solved???? Please don't tell me I get no support because I am on a self-hosted site as I have a license and have for 20 years!
Thanks
