PHP system() not working

[mr_nabo]

Hi,

I'm working with a host that has PHP 4.4.7 and MySQL 3.23.58. I need to install Joomla 1.5.7 and was going to upload a .zip of the files, import my database and (hopefully) be done with it. However, system() commands like zip and unzip don't seem to be working.

Is it because of the PHP version I'm using or can I find out from phpinfo whether system() functions have bee disabled?

Thanks

[php.net...]

Hi,

Safe mode is off, I presume this means that I can't use the system() function of PHP right? Although, that's strange as it seems to work on another host with safe_mode switched off...

Is there any way to see if this specific function has been disabled?

Thanks

Can anyone help me with this please?

Is this LAMP or WAMP? (Linux or Windows)

Does the server actually have the zip/unzip commands installed?
