Re: Problem with exec, shell_exec

Have located ( I think ) the problem. I have been calling 'super' from the php script and when I call 'cadduser' it works perfect but when I call 'caddvsite' I get an 'Unable to setgid=0' error. Any idea why this would happen? Both executables are owned by root.root and permission of both are set to 4700. the exec() call uses the 'sh' shell on both script calls. The only differance is that one works and the other doesn't. Any ideas?
