    escapeshellcmd error

    Hi all,

    I have a problem about security settings. I think my hosting company don't allow "escapeshellcmd()" function because of the security risks.

    Earlier versions of ATutor I didn't have any problem about sending mail. How can I fix it?

    Thanks.

    Things to describe:
    operating system - Linux 2.6.9-023stab044.4-smp
    version of ATutor - 1.6
    versions of php - 4.4.6
    version of mysq l - 4.1.22-standard
    webserver & version - Apache 2.0
    changes to default settings - No changes
    web browser being used - IE, Firefox, Opera
    copies of error messages:

    Re: escapeshellcmd() error

    It seems like your host doesn't allow php to run server-side program, but this is just a warning message. The mail should still be sent.

    If the mails are being sent, you should contact your host.

    If you want to disable the messages, open include/vitals.inc.php
    change line 17 to

    define('AT_ERROR_REPORTING', E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE ^ E_WARNING);

    hello harris,

    your reply message:
    "It seems like your host doesn't allow php to run server-side program, but this is just a warning message. The mail should still be sent".----> nope, i did not received any mail.
    i did my research on the internet and it seems that most webhosts disables this thing because of potential security risk. any comment on this?

    thanks

    Re: escapeshellcmd() error

    deleting that line did not help anymore! just I can not see the URL of the file which I mention in my previous threat.

    what is wrong? really no one knows?

    I can send mails by my host and I have a CMS beside Atutor in root directory(Joomla)it works properly with mail.

    after creating mail, in the report I see
    Username: info@vafl.ir
    Password: ********
    Pop3 Server: mail.vafl.ir
    Smtp Server: mail.vafl.ir

    ATutor Version:
