Server Status script not working
I use the following server status script to monitor my websites on a shared server here. I don't know where I originally got it but it works really well. Until now
 Code:

http://www.usasentinel.com/status.php Notice at the bottom that the server information section is blank. On my other 2 servers it shows the correct info. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is not working with sh131 when it is working fine with sh100 and sh124?

Something tells me $loadresult =
 exec('uptime'); is failing. You might remove the "" in front of exec so that it will echo any warnings or errors. It's also possible that the exec() function was/is disabled on that server.

Sorry it took me so long to reply.
Yes, that did the trick. I mean it did not fix it but I don't think your intention was to fix it but to help me find out what was wrong, and removing the " " symbol from that line resulted in the following error code...Code:
Warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/myusername/public_html/status.php on line 164 ) is disabled. I don't know why ... mainly because I don't know what it does Does disabling/enabling it have anything to do with the security of the server? Is it off by default?

Surpass has enabled it for me and I love this place and these guys are great. But you know what? I just asked them to change it back. Apparently this thing is a security feature and should be off by default. If that's so then I don't want to be the cause of it being on just for a dopey script. This script doesn't mean that much to me to lessen security on the server.
For me security is king. Yes, I am the kind of guy that locks my car in the garage

Well, for Gallery2 to use ImageMagick to process images, it has to be on since it uses a command line interface with the convert executable. Of course, you can always use PHP's GD instead, but ImageMagick does seem to create slightly better looking images.

the exec() php option is disabled by default on newer servers as a security precaution. So adding a local php.ini and removing exec from disabled functions is the workaround.
Sentinel, if you still want to use the status script you can place the script file and the php.ini I created for you in a sub folder instead of in public_html root. This would almost eliminate the security risk.

Hmmm... I may have do that to explicitly disable that function where I want. Hopefully php has been configured on his server to recognize local php.ini files.
Edit: Actually, I just realized that this is what I've been doing. These functions are disabled by default with PHP5 on my server: exec, shellexec, passthru, system, escapeshellcmd, I've just been using my own php.ini the whole time which doesn't disable them. However, they were all disabled on my companyofvalor domain as it's using the default config. I need to put my own php.ini in there as the server actually has allow_url_fopen on by default.
