How to enable exec() in hestiacp

Dear Friends,

Please advise how to enable the exec() on my hestiacp, I am using a VPS where I don’t have any support from the hosting provider.

Please see the disabled exec($command) in the screenshot below: that is giving “Call to undefined function App\Http\Controllers\Admin\exec()”

Please help, I am a novice and need a detailed instruction.

Hi @khaiser Exec() is a default php function wich should be work.

For what I see is that you are using a Laravel app and its looking for the exec() function in the App\Http\Controllers\Admin namespace.

Don’t know what kind of project/software you are trying to install but I don’t think this is a Hestiacp problem.

We have disabled php exec function recently on ever new install…

nano /etc/php/x.x/fpm/php.ini and remove exec from the disabled functions list. and it works…
