Parallels PLESK 12.0.18 - PHP exec() disabled

I've been trying to exec() an exe which calls wkhtmltopdf to produce a PDF and then push it to the browser.

However, exec() and system() and shell_exec() seem to be not working under Plesk 12.0.18 on a windows machine, presumably for some crappy security reason.

Does someone know how I can go about enabling this? I know safe mode no longer exists in PHP 5.6 so I am not sure why this isn't working.

Very annoyed. I have root access as this is a dedicated server with 1 and 1.

Solution

  • I just uninstalled PLESK and installed Wamp Server.

    Problem solved.
