You need to talk to your host. He's presumably turned "exec" off for security reasons. You can't use gallery without it - you need it to copy files, build thumbnails etc etc.

[exec allows you to call operating system functions - gives you a lot of power]

If your host refuses, you can try to implement PHP as a CGI (FAQ section 2.3). However, this is typically not successful. Good luck with your host :smile:

Tell your webhost they should remove this statement:

"PHP4 Support (This is unique and unprecedented among free hosting companies! NO ONE offers this!! Not even most PAY hosting companies! With PHP you can have your own scripts and handle even the database for your business, or anything else you want!!!)"

That is on there mainpage! and is actually not true and is a false and mis-leading statement to make.
