Shell_exec on Ubuntu 16 and nginx

Posted on February 14, 2018

Hi there.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 with nginx and php7-fpm.

I am try to run a shell_exec command from a PHP file. However, the command just isn’t executing. No errors are being written to the nginx error log, quite simply, just nothing happens.

I assume that I need to enable shell_exec somewhere but I am not sure where.

If someone could point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks so much, Ed.
