[stelthius]

Hi Guys,

 

I have built a test script to restart a few services via php but i have hit a wall, the script doesnt seem to work, safe mode is off in php and im aware it isnt recommended using PHP to perform the actions i want to it perform if anyone has any better ( Safer ) solutions please let me know

 

Below is my code, can anyone tell me why it wont work please ?

 

<?php		
	if (isset($_GET['cmd'])){
		if ($_GET['cmd'] == 'restart') {
		passthru('shutdown -r -t 01');
		echo '<font color=red>'.$lang_serrestarted.'</font>';
		}
		if ($_GET['cmd'] == 'shutdown') {
		passthru('shutdown -s -t 01');
		echo '<font color=red>'.$lang_serrestarted.'</font>';
		}
		if ($_GET['cmd'] == 'restartapache') {
		passthru('net stop apache');
		passthru('net start apache');
		echo '<font color=red>'.$lang_serrestarted.'</font>';
		}
		if ($_GET['cmd'] == 'restartmysql') {
		passthru('net stop MySQL');
		passthru('net start MySQL');
		echo '<font color=red>'.$lang_serrestarted.'</font>';
		}
		if ($_GET['cmd'] == 'restartftp') {
		passthru('#');
		echo '<font color=red>'.$lang_serrestarted.'</font>';
		}
	}		

	ini_set('display_errors','0'); 

	function lookup_ports($hport,$hdomain) {
         	$fp = fsockopen($hdomain, $hport,$errno,$errstr, 4);
        	if (!$fp){
             	$data = "<font color=red size=4>*</font>";
         	} else {
             	$data = "<font color=green size=4>*</font>";
             	fclose($fp);
         	}
         return $data;
	}

              ?>

Firstly, you should be using elseif. Secondly, you may try using shell_exec().

 

Also, I don't think I've ever seen apache or mysql restarted in that manner. Try:

 

apache:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

apache2ctl restart

apachectl restart

 

mysql:

/etc/init.d/mysqld restart

Hi Jasop,

 

Thanks for your reply, the apache way you said to try didnt work and the mysql one well it kind of worked here is the mysql one output

 

Stopping MySQL: [FAILED] Starting MySQL: [ OK ]

[Jabop]

I'm not sure of your permissions, but try to do sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart. if not you can always do stop and then start.'

 

Try each of those apache restarts, one of them is bound to work.

 

Actually I lied: /etc/init.d/apache restart

but still somethign isnt right for Mysql to say it failed on stopping mysql even tho it is running :S strange!

well i found a way to get the actual server to reboot but im still stuck with how to get the services to restart efficiantly
