Oh wow,
this was so in my face and I didn't even realize it. This makes complete sense. Thank you!

Hello,
It is because you are creating a new website, that means add a new virtual host in Apache, that means a graceful restart. The problem is not the PHP execution.
A common approach ... Add the task of the website creation in a queue, and such queue is processed by a cronjob or similar. I recommend redis for the queue.Regards,José NobileOn Thu, May 16, 2019 at 12:31 PM Justin Welenofsky <welenofsky@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hello everyone,I am having a really perplexing problem when trying to run shell_exec from a web page and it causing a empty response from server. I am trying to shell_exec a script that calls vesta commands that create new site/new database. I created a form/webpage that takes the new domain and DB info from a user and calls the bash script with shell_exec. It seems to fully run, creating the site and the database but server responds back with an empty response and the browser loses the connection to server.

I have used remote debugging and it seems to get the output back from shell_exec and successfully stores it in variable and PHP script steps all the way way through till response. But immediately after shell_exec line runs I get the empty response from server and my browser loses its connection.
To debug I have tried running a PHP server with php -S addr:port and ssh tunnling the connection from the webserver to my computer so I can access the webpage and submit the form and that works just fine so I am guessing this may be an issue with apache?My main question is does anyone know what may be causing this or even how I could do to debug this further?Regards,Justin Welenofsky
