Dude do you even know what php_exec_dir patch is, its a patch so you dont 
have to turn safe mode on, which disables a bunch of shit that you need, so 
the patch was a work around simply stop you executing programs.

heres a hint, learn about the product b4 you spam a mailing list, i see 5 
posts from you asking the exact same question 2 hrs apart from each other 
you think you could've googled in that time or perhaps fixed your mail 
queue?

either or, stop being so fucking lazy.
