Thank you so much !
i did it but its still not parsing my dbase file
i activatet now in server-manager under i-bays web-hosting:
PHP-fpm (whithout a php number behind) but the test was the same - negative.
i dont know if one of that restrictions is blocking the function maybe?
List of php disabled functions (disable_functions) : system,show_source,symlink,exec,dl,shell_exec,passthru,phpinfo,escapeshellarg,escapeshellcmd
in the past that command worked:
dbase_open("/home/e-smith/files/ibays/ib_my-ibay/html/TEST.DBF",0);
