jkpolsar Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Hi, I have a problem using shell_exec and I think I've narrowed it down to PHP trying to execute the command as user "apache" instead of "root" or the user who created the file I'm trying to edit "videogam" How do I change the user executing the unix command through shell_exec to "videogam" instead of "apache"? Thanks! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82868-shell_exec-need-to-change-logged-in-user/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
