I am unable to execute my c++ program from within PHP when it runs as a cgi in Apache. I am able to run: $cmd="dir c:\abc" system ($cmd, $errCode); and see the content of the directory, but I don't seem to be able to run a simple hello.exe (c++) file. $cmd = "c:\abc\hello.exe"; system ($cmd, $errCode); The errCode always comes back with 128. What does 128 mean? Here is some info on my setup. OS: Windows XP Server: Apache 2.0.43 (win32) PHP 4.2.3 I am running PHP as a CGI I am able to execute my c++ program (hello.exe) from this .php file just fine if I use the PHP cli. I appreciate any help.
