tanveer Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hi all, I am trying to create a user in linux with php but its not getting created. I also added apache user in sudoers file in linux. <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <form name="form1" method="post" action="newuser.php"> <p>Login: <input name="login" type="text" id="login"> </p> <p>Nombre Completo: <input name="nombre" type="text" id="nombre"> </p> <p>Password: <input name="pwd" type="password" id="pwd"> </p> <p> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Crear"> </p> </form> </body> </html> <?php if (isset($_POST['login'])) { $login=$_POST['login']; $nombre=$_POST['nombre']; $passwd_crypt=crypt($_POST['pwd']); #$res='/bin/bash /var/www/cgi-bin/newuser $login "$nombre" $passwd_crypt'; $res='/var/www/cgi-bin/newuser'; echo $res; exec ("$res"); echo "<br><br>User Created"; } ?> Then I changed the code to make sure whether its really working or not by this below just to create a file but still it doesn't work. /var/www/cgi-bin/newuser sudo touch /tmp/abc Any help.

teamatomic Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Those dont look like "back ticks" in the $res. The shell wont execute it if its not back ticked. You should not even need the exec, in PHP it will use the ticks and do it itself. The back tick is right below the "tilde", upper left of the keyboard. I dont know what your shell script looks like but you have to sudo everything. Is it your box? If not do you have root perms or been made a super-user. If not you wont be able to do anything. Is "safe mode" turned on. If so you have to set the folder you have executables in with safe_mode_exec_dir. If this confuses you you should spend some time with: Linux "Little Black Book" Linux in a nutshell HTH Teamatomic Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/184968-problem-in-running-simple-touch-command-with-php/#findComment-976472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanveer Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 No the back tick doesn't work. This is my script: just 2 lines to create a file in /tmp for testing #!/bin/bash sudo touch /tmp/abc in /etc/sudoers I also have an entry apache ALL=(ALL) ALL <?php $res=`/var/www/cgi-bin/newuser.sh`; echo "<br><br>File Created"; ?> And safe_mode if off in php.ini Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/184968-problem-in-running-simple-touch-command-with-php/#findComment-976478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
