To check if shell_exec is enabled I used this code

<?php

        if(function_exists('shell_exec')) {
            echo "exec is enabled\n";
        }

?>

and called it with php file.php on the command line. The result was that I got the message exec is enabled. I did it with the same user name as apache is running (i.e. www-data).

I also checked the correct ownership of the file under /var/www/html/wp-content/.git and there were files which had root as username and group. I changed it to www-data (including subdirectories) but the error message is still showing up.

root@beb35a1d43af:/var/www/html/wp-content/.git# ls -al
