Hi all

My server is centos 5.1 with php 5.1.6.

In my app I want apache to add user through sudo.

 

My sudoers file is:

%apache  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

%tony  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

 

My test.php í:

<?php

$username="hixhix";

system("/usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/useradd -s /sbin/nologin -M $username",$returnvalue);

echo "return value: $returnvalue";

However, user 'hixhix' not created by apache at all, it always returned 1.

how can I make my apache tu add user using sudo?

Please help me. I need your help.

Thanks and regards.

>Check your existing users, the user isn't apache it's iirc wwwrun.

Are you sure it is wwwrun, not apache in centos?

AFAIK, the user is wwwrun in SUSE, apache in centos/redhat and www-data in debian/ubuntu.

anyway I added wwwrun  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL into /etc/sudoers but still not works.

any idea?

thanks and regards

ok. I'll check now (your specified path /etc/apache/httpd.conf is not correct).

Thanks for the reply. I'm working overtime on this sartuday (and sunday maybe) for solving this so

do not leave me alone. :)

I'll report you back

i checked. As I expected, User is apache, group is apache.

Could you give me some other hints?

(If I run above php script via shell by another user assigned executing sudo in sudoers, this script ran fine)

thanks and regards
