Hi guys and gals,
I have a weird problem with is_executble(), it is returning false when
it seems like it should return true. This is on a cpanel server with
the following:
Apache 1.3.x
PHP 5.2.5
RHE
Here is my test script:
<?php
clearstatcache();
$r = is_executable("curl"); // The offending function.
echo "Is Exec: ";
echo ($r)? "True":"False"; //Getting printable output.
echo "<br><br>";
exec("curl --version", $output); // Actually executing it to make
sure it is there.
print_r($output);
?>
Here is my output:
---- out put to the browser -----
Is Exec: False
Array ( [0] => curl 7.15.3 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.15.3
OpenSSL/0.9.7a zlib/1.1.4 [1] => Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap
http file https ftps [2] => Features: Largefile NTLM SSL libz )
---- end of output ---------------
I am not sure where to go from here. I wish I didn't have to deal
with this, but the is_executable function is buried in xcart and I
don't want to start moding the core. It seems like I might have some
other problem that I am just not seeing.
Thanks in advance,

The solution was that I needed to modify my open_basedir line in
http.conf for the virtual host and include /usr/bin. After I did this
for http, I struggled with why it wasn't working still reliably. Dur!
I also had to make this change in the SSL config for the site.
I think it is amazing that after being completely frustrated and after I
post to the list, minutes later I find the solution. Oh well......
