i found it :) ... in the second server the php path is /usr/local/bin/php and in the first is /usr/bin/php (I checked only with that path). in the second server (bsd one) i can't run it with simply php (without path) like in the other server. Is there a way (shell command or php settings from php.ini) to run php without path? (like exec('php script.php');) Radu PS: thanks effigy for your help

i tested with exec and system with php path and same problem.

The first server which works is Linux 2.6.9-022stab078.9-enterprise #1 SMP Thu Jun 8 12:38:51 MSD 2006 i686 and the second one which i have issues is FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p3 #0: Wed i386 I executed exec('php -v; echo $?'); and i get 127 0 as response; exec('ls'); works fine, it returns the files there.

Hi, I have a exec/system problem. I want to execute a php script in background. I tested with exec("php script.php > /dev/null 2>&1 &") On my server works fine (i use cPanel) but on other server that have directadmin this not works. When i try echo exec("php -v") i get only a 127 return and no php version text. I compared the results from phpinfo() and I did not find something to change to make it works. When i try: system("whereis php",$out);echo $out; on the good server i get: php: /usr/bin/php /etc/php.d /etc/php.ini /usr/lib/php /usr/lib/php.ini /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/lib/php /usr/local/lib/php.ini /usr/include/php /usr/man/man1/php.1 0 and the server where is not working: php: /usr/local/man/man1/php.1 0 In my phpinfo() on the server that works I don't see CLI extension enabled. (if this is the problem) Which settings do I have to change to make this works ? Thanks Radu PS: safe_mode is off on both servers
