I have another server where cPanel is not installed there i can call shell_exec function. Can anyone please tell me what is the difference in cPanel server. What changes I need to make to execute that function using PHP. Thanks

  Hello :) Yes, as mentioned, check to see if it exists under the disable_functions entry in your /usr/local/lib/php.ini file. Thank you.

  Or you can sign in to WHM -> PHP Configuration Editor - > click on advanced mode Now you can easy search and delete that line.

  @Fral-IT, By default cpanel server was disable all php vulnerability functions that's why you are facing the issue. You need to remove "shell_exec" function from "disable functions" line that's it. You can done this by using above two methods which one is familiar for you....got it...)
