Re: Re: shell script not working with shell_exec

Not what I meant, just login into the server from the console or terminal, using the apache account for testing to see if the command line work. That's all. If it work then it meant it will work on PHP and that the apache file permission or ownership is not the issue. Also, it meant you do not need to write PHP coding to login to access or execute those scripts. That way, you move on and find out what else is causing the problem. Well, when Apache is compiled, the Apache account is created and the account is never created without a username and password.
