PHP shell_exec prohibited ?

[Rhapsody]

Hi,

I am trying to intall a Learning-Management-System called ILIAS (v4.4.10) on my Windows Server 2012 R2 with Plesk. I have Admin rights on that server and the fileupload and MySQL is working fine.

The system executes a unzip.exe to unzip uploaded files. But this does not happen on my server. I already checked the PHP.ini settings (5.5) and everything is set up the same way as it is on my local Windows 8 machine. On the local system without plesk everything works as intended but on the Plesk system the php program can not unzip the files.

<?php

if (isEnabled('shell_exec')) {

shell_exec('echo "hello world"');​

}​

?>
Does not give any response.

The php error log is empty.
I don't get any error messages.

Is this behaviour prohibited by PLESK and is there a way to allow it ?

Looks like that you script is incorrect. I have checked following and it works:

<?php
$output = shell_exec('powershell get-process < NUL');
echo $output;
?>
