In itself, I disagree. If you aren't 10000000% sure what the source code does, you're right, it can be bad.
If it's accepting input from a visitor to the website (even just as params to a program), it's potentially devastating. I've just had a look on the menalto website, and please please please DONT run that software. Not only does it require exec() but also it requires magic_quotes_gpc off!! This is asking for someone to take your part of the server over! It's the equivalent of leaving your bike keys in the ignition, helmet, gloves, jacket & trousers on the bike!!! |

So I am trying to install Menalto Gallery on my website so that I can display my photographs.
I had to change from a Windows server to a Linux server so that I could CHMOD certain files and directories to enable the database to work. Done that but now have just found out that I need the PHPs Exec() to be set to ON but the webhosts servers are all set to OFF so they can't help. I am currently with Fasthosts and need to change to a new hosting service where they can help me out. Anyone in the know? Drew |

You did not need to change, windows has permissions but unforunatly they cant be set via FTP.
You need to check that the host provider has not turned on php.safe_mode too. If you are having problems you could get a VPS, that way you have control over your server config.

Get a new gallery program, there are many out there, and a lot of them don't require you to bend your server over and pull its trousers and underpants to its ankles............ David
