Hi guys,

Thanks Rick,

thanks again Rick,

[stelthius]

also is there anyway to actually know if the service has restarted or failed to restart ?

restart.html

 

<form name="restart" method="post" action="restart.php">
  <input type="submit" name="restartApache" value="Restart">
</form>

 

restart.php

 

<?php

if ( $_POST['restartApache'] )
   {
   if ( exec('/etc/init.d/apache2 restart') )
      {
      echo 'Apache service restarted!';
      }
   else
      {
      echo 'Service couldn\'t be restarted';
      }
   }
   else
   {

?>

<form name="restart" method="post" action="restart.php">
  <input type="submit" name="restartApache" value="Restart">
</form>

<?php

   }

Hmmm works nice but the only problem is the page will have like

 

Restart Apache

 

Restart MySQL

 

and then once it has restarted just say *Service Successfully restarted but remai on the same page if you get me i do have a peice of code already but it doesnt seem to work

Well, you're restarting the server, so you won't be able to serve any pages during that time.  Why do you want to do it like this anyway?

[stelthius]

Because i need to be able to restart apache and mysql via php, if it cant be done then i guess im outta luck lol it doesnt have to be in PHP any language really just aslong as it works as i said im new im no guru so im learning as i go along

I would use JavaScript to do the checking because it is client side and will operate even if the server is down.

i actually got it to work like this,

 

 

<?php
                     if ($_GET['cmd'] == 'restartapache') 
                     if ( exec('/etc/init.d/httpd restart') )
                     {
                     echo '<font color=red>'.$lang_serrestarted.'</font>';
                     }
                     else
                     {
                     echo '<font color=green>Service couldn\'t be restarted</font>';
                     }
                     if ($_GET['cmd'] == 'restartmysql') 
                     if ( exec('/etc/init.d/mysqld restart') )
                     {
                     echo '<font color=red>'.$lang_serrestarted.'</font>';
                     }
                     else
                     {
                     echo '<font color=green>Service couldn\'t be restarted</font>';
                     }
		if ($_GET['cmd'] == 'restartftp') 
                     if ( exec('/etc/init.d/ftpd restart') )
                     {
                     echo '<font color=red>'.$lang_serrestarted.'</font>';
                     }
                     else
                     {
                     echo '<font color=green>Service couldn\'t be restarted</font>';
                     }
	}		


	?>

Restart Apache - <a href="?page=servercontrol&cmd=restartapache">Restart Apache</a><br />
<br />
Restart MySQL - <a href="?page=servercontrol&cmd=restartmysql">Restart MySQL</a><br />
<br />
Restart FTP - <a href="?page=servercontrol&cmd=restartftp">Restart FTP</a><br />

 

any tips on cleaning it up or making it more efficiant are welcome but it works and thats what i was aiming for
