Can't execute external program

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
I cannot get exec(), system() or passthru() to run an extenal program.
>From the command line it runs perfectly:
[root@hnick html]# /var/www/html/myprog -E 123456789098.dat sample1.txt
sample1.new
(no output, it just creates the file .new)

Here is the php I've created, fairly simple:
<?php
exec("/var/www/html/myprog -E 123456789098.dat sample1.txt
sample1.new");
?>
I've tried using full paths as well
>From other threats I've double-checked this:
 - safe mode is disabled
 - the values for max_execution_time and memory_limit are large enough
for this simple program.
 - permissions are correct for all files involved:
any user can run the program ( rwxr-xr-x )
any user can read input files
apache is the owner of all files involved

I'm getting frustrated, Any  help will be deeply appreciated
Henry
