how to check if my shared hosting has suexec or suphp

I need to check if my shared host has suexec or suphp. I found this documentation: http://www.alain.knaff.lu/howto/PhpSuexec/

At the very end of this document there is a test. When I run the test, it says:

Warning: system() has been disabled for security reasons in /home.......... on line 3

Is there any other method to check it? (I have SSH access)

Solution

  • the best and simplest way I have found to test it is to have a PHP script executing the "id" command:

    put the following in a .php file, and uplaod via ft. then, visit the file location in your browser.

    <?php
system('id');
?>
