check directory rights.
If need be, passwd the user and give it a shell.
then try on the console as the webserver user
to tail the file.

Re: [PHP] Tailing a log file {!?}
I have PHP's safe mode enabled, can't use backticks.
And no I can't disable it, I'm hosting a few hundred sites =)
I looked up "return_var" in the manual and got nothing, had a read of
return() but don't quite understand how that would benefit what's happening.
Could you please give an example?
Thanks!
Liam

I prefer something simpler than exec(), try:
$output = `tail -n $len /www/hosting/domains/lanolot/logs/$open`;
echo $output;

1) Check that you have permissions to access the file
2) Add a 'return_var' to your exec() call. And check what this contains.

Re: [PHP] Tailing a log file {!?}
Sorry, I should have included this in the first email...
Here's my full code. Page is called like this:
log.php?open=access.log&len=150
=
Excecuting: tail -n $len
/www/hosting/domains/lanolot/logs/$open ";
echo "Displaying the last $len lines of
$open...";
exec("tail -n $len /www/hosting/domains/lanolot/logs/$open", $result);
foreach ($result as $val) {
echo "$val";
}
?>
=
When I call the page, I get the expected at the top:
Excecuting: tail -n 150 /www/hosting/domains/lanolot/logs/error.log
Displaying the last 150 lines of error.log...
But there's nothing underneath it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Liam

An infinite loop most likely. Remember, $result is an array. Try:

Hi
You need
exec("tail -n 100 access_log",$result);
$result will be an array with the output of the command.
see http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php
