RE: [PHP] p-s-e-x-e-c
When I run the command on the server itself, it works just fine. When I run the same command via a webpage, the text file does not generate. I also have a similar problem but reversed. It works in a webpage but not on the command line. mysql_connect, mssql_connect, and a non-db function. A command line script calling file() to call the web page works however. And it just stopped working about 2 months ago (from the command line). one word: permissions ... also perhaps the php.ini settings are different for either one, and there's a different ini file for shell vs. web. Even though the build date was before the time the problem started, I scrutinized both the phpinfo's which pointed to the same php.ini, but I noticed that the ./configure switches did not match up and finally the admin admitted that his yum update must have overwritten the formerly manually compiled version. My issue is resolved. Sorry for the partial hijacking of this thread but as you can see, it can be beneficial. _ Boo! Scare away worms, viruses and so much more!

[PHP] p-s-e-x-e-c
Hi. I'm wanting to run an executable that generates a text file, and I'm having some issues. When I run the command on the server itself, it works just fine. When I run the same command via a webpage, the text file does not generate. My first impression was that the permissions were wrong. So, I gave the web user and the user making the call the necessary permissions... no luck. Here's what I'm doing... ?php $command = psexec.exe -i -w C:/Folder -u user -p pass -e C:/Folder/executable.exe 21; exec ($command); ? This should generate this file but doesn't: C:/Folder/printer_list.txt Again, when this exact statement is run in the terminal on the Win2k3 server, it works fine. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, ~Philip PS... Side note: the list rejected my original email b/c of the subject: 'Psexec'. Odd.
