I get this error when i'm installing Gallery2:

Warning: The exec() function is disabled in your php by the disabled_functions parameter in php.ini. You won't be able to use modules that require external binaries (e.g. ImageMagick, NetPBM or Ffmpeg). This can only be set server-wide, so you will need to change it in the global php.ini.

Where and how can i change my php.ini? (I have cPanel X)

A server administrator would have to change it in php.ini. If you're using a webhost they probably won't change it so you'll have to do without modules that require the exec() function.

My host allows you to make your own php.ini file, just a basic $10 a month plan. Contact your hosting support to see if they let you.

Create phpinfo.php with this in it.
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
FTP it to you server and then run it in a browser. Should look something like this. Good Luck

This will give you information on how the php is setup. Then you will be able to better communicate with your hosting service IMHO
