#16542 [Com]: safe_mode_exec_dir and exec()

ID: 16542 Comment by: justinNOSPAMclarke@xcelco.on.ca Reported By: n.dose@leo-media.de Status: Feedback Bug Type: IIS related Operating System: windows XP PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: I am running Win2K with PHP 4.2.1 and I am experiencing this same type of problem. Hopefully I can provide a little more feedback. safe_mode = On safe_mode_exec_dir = "D:\web\test\" Here's what I've got. I've tried with frontslashes no trailing slash, you name it, I've tried it. No exec() or system(), etc. statement will work from this directory (or any other directory for that matter while safe_mode is on). If I take off safe_mode, everything is fine (obviously). I can provide more info if necessary. Please feel free to e-mail.

Try setting the safe_mode_exec_dir to something like c:/inetpub/cgi-bin Does it work now? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-11 04:17:29] n.dose@leo-media.de ISAPI mode. IIS 5.1 safe_mode_exec_dir = C:\\Inetpub\cgi-bin\ <?php exec("myprog.exe"); ?> Calls to exec system with {safe mode = On} result in an extra "/" being prepended to the executable file's name: Warning: Unable to fork [C:\\\\Inetpub\cgi-bin\\/myprog.exe] in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\index.php4 (the fork error results from other issues, but notice the /myprog.exe) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
