Does CPG require exec() ?
« on: January 07, 2004, 12:22:20 am »

Coppermine looks like a great piece of software, one that can do everything I need.

There's just one thing I need to know before I install: Does Coppermine require the exec() function in PHP?

I ask because the sysadmin for my server has disabled it, claiming it as a potential security risk.  The server's locked down like Fort Knox, and no exceptions are made. (It's a free server at the university I attend.)

If Coppermine does require exec(), is there a work-around, or perhaps an alternative photo gallery package that I could use?

Thanks!

afaik exec() is only used with ImageMagic. If you use GD, you should be fine without it.
