Using wordpress 3.0.3 on localhost on Wn 7 x64 with UAC disabled. Wampserver 2.0 including PHP 5.3.0. Safe mode is OFF
I wanted to use mysqldump but it says php exec is disabled. Can't find any way to enable it, and no luck with web search.
I created a web page with if(!exec('cd .')){ die('ERROR: Exec is not available!!!'); } (in php tags) and it does echo back the error.
Any advice on getting this going would be great.
I also see this is optional – what does that mean – will the database get backed up some other way, or does optional mean you just can run it without backing up the database.
Thanks

Hi Steve, you will need to ask your hosting provider if they can enable that function for you, usually it depends on their hosting policy.
XCloner will be able to generate a mysql backup even if exec() is not supported.
Good luck. Ovidiu

I am the 'hosting provider' in this case - I'm trying to run this on my own PC. I want to be able to setup a blog offline, then clone and move it to a hosting provider.
I'll give it a go then, without the mysqldump.
Thanks
