exec() is disabled but needed by Gallery2

[webbie]

Hi Support,

While installing Gallery2.1.1 with the Preinstaller (FTP over the internet)..
Checking the 11 steps: exec() is disabled on server level in php.ini

Without exec() it would be impossible to use programs like ImageMagick and NetPBM, says the checkup.

How can I change this ?

Tnx
(maybe a set in index.php on gallery )

its a server side setting, only vodahost can change it. It is probably disabled to security reason's, they may enable it if you ask, but they might not

Tnx,
maybe it will work without exec() , cause there is GD to serve the Gallery.

just because i'm curious: does that mean that server-settings cannot be overruled by settings in php ? (or in a htaccess ?).

Cheers
