What was done before the problem appeared?
installing


What was done to try to solve the problem?
I tried 2 or 3 times and still the error apeared



De.scription and Message

I searched but I didn't find anything... I did what I was supposed to do like change the permissions from 644 to 664 on both the phpbb_security.php and the config.php. But it still says "Warning: system() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/rhineus/public_html/includes/phpbb_security.php on line 1195". Everything went smoothly until that happened... Thank you <img>

644 to 664

it should be 666

system() is a server side setting in your php.ini
Many hosts are disabling it for security, but it should not cause your install to fail.

Thank you HelterSkelter for your quick reply, it worked. <img>


And one more question (hopefully)... I know I should create a new topic but since this has to do with my question before I thought I would add it here. I have another error, its the same error but a different file name. "Warning: phpinfo() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/rhineus/public_html/admin/admin_security.php on line 73". I tried setting the permissions high and low but nothing, it still says that. Even tho I can still view the phpinfo through my cpanel.


This is befuddling me. lol Ok, every now and then this "Warning: system() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/rhineus/public_html/includes/phpbb_security.php on line 1195" shows up and I haven't done anything except editing my categorys and my forums. I tried everything that I know how to do (I don't to much know how to edit php) except deleting my forum and I don't want to do that...

I have the same problem, but it's intermittent...one page rendering every 15 or so...the permissions for phpbb_security.php are already 666. Any thoughts?

after installation, you should set includes/phpbb_security.php to 644. It only needs to be writable during install. After that, it will never change and should be protected from public viewing.
For the error, check that system() is enabled in your php.ini. This is a server side setting. Even if you cant change it, you should be able to view the settings in your cpanel or plesk control panels.
