    Evolution v1.0.4; Ditto 2.1.0; YAMS 1.1.9

    Site was working perfectly on other server, moved over to new server, all sections are working except when going to the section that uses Ditto & phx calls. The below error comes up. Any ideas?

    « MODx Parse Error »
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« PHP Parse Error »

      shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons
      Does your Ditto tpl use phpthumbs? It uses shell_exec.

        um... I don’t know. Should that impact anything even though it was working fine on one server 10 minutes before, but when I brought everything over to the new server it stopped working?

        and if it does impact, how would I change it?

        undecided

        thanks for your reply! It is very appreciated.

          Yes, anything that uses shell_exec would stop working if the server it’s put on has it disabled.

            ah ha! okay... do you know how I enable it?

            grin

            Note: did some research and it looks like it’s something set by the hosting server peeps, I will try and get a hold of them on Monday (they’re in Finland and actually take the weekends off!!!) and see what they say.... in the meantime if anyone has any ideas? much obliged.

              Does your server have safe_mode set to ON? That will disable shell_exec. You can find out by looking at the output from the phpinfo() view link in Reports -> System Info. There is a settings block that has an alphabetical list of the PHP settings.
