Re: php exec error
"where" are you getting this error ? "when" does it appear?

Re: php exec error
on database back up page. was wroking fine. have backed up a few times, then tried a couple of days ago and saw the error.
version 1.3.7
nothing has happened between then and now. my hosting company said the servers sometimes find security issues so disable things and then it's up to the software people to change things. or something like that.
i don't know, it seems strange to me...

Re: php exec error
That's related to the same problem. If the exec() function is disabled, it cannot return usable error messages. Thus the error appears. Originally Posted by headache!

If not, you'll need to use phpMyAdmin to do your backups instead..
