Can't upload images anymore - error message

[Cyclist]

When I try to upload photos to EE I get an error message:

In the past I never got that message. I have never had any problems with uploading pics. What's wrong now?

You server admin has changed PHP settings and disabled all commands which let PHP run server-side programs (like Imagemagick).

"exec,system,passthru,shell_exec,popen,escapeshellc md,proc_open,proc_nice() has been disabled for security reasons"

You should give them a mail and ask for a server where you can run IM. They could also install IM executables into a folder which would then be set as "safe_mode_exec_dir" in PHP meaning you can run server-side programs only from that folder.

If they refuse to do that then you choices are to change to server which lets you run Imagemagick, or use GD.

EE 1.5 RC4 needs "exec" command for IM (passthru is selectable in release version).
