how do i enable exec() in php.ini? where is php.ini? cant find it in the directories in my site.

It depends on your server configuration. If it is disabled, then this means one of two things: safe mode may be on, or your configuration has specifically disabled exec. Either way, it probably means that your host has intentionally disabled this and you do not have access to change it-- check with your host for more information.
If you installed it yourself, you should be able to fix it, though.

phpinfo();
?>

Is the the same server as the max upload files? If so this is the same problem and you should probably pay for hosting.
