We will go over how to enable PHP-FPM exec() in this post. Sometimes after enabling PHP-FPM, the exec() function stops functioning, and we cannot locate any disabled functions in the PHP settings. After turning off PHP-FPM, we can execute it once more.

In case you run across this problem, kindly take the following actions:

First, confirm that PHP-FPM is authorized on the domain where the problem is occurring. For that, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to WHM with your credentials.
  2. Access to MultiPHP Manager to see if your domain makes use of PHP-FPM.
  3. There, you can check to see if the domain is using PHP-FPM.

After this, follow these steps to make PHP-exec() FPMs available:

  1. Access the server via SSH.
  2. To check the server’s PHP version, run the command below

    #php -v

  3. You can open the PHP-FPM configuration file

    # vi /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/etc/php-fpm.d/blah.domain.tld.conf

  4. The exec() function can be found in the list of disabled functions.

    php_admin_value[disable_functions] = passthru,shell_exec,system

  5. Take off the word “exec” from the top line.
  6. The next command should be used to restart PHP-FPM.

    # /scripts/restartsrv_apache_php_fpmAnd that is how you can enable exec() in PHP-FPM.
