The new install may be using a different php.ini file, or someone may have recently changed a php.ini setting. There's a new-ish option called "disable_functions" which can be used to selectively turn off functions--system() and exec() being two of the more obvious targets for this. Call phpinfo() to check whether a global or local setting is preventing those functions from running. -- CC
