note 57831 added to function.exec

When trying to run an external command-line application in Windows 2000, I found that it was behaving differently from when I manually ran it from a DOS prompt. Turned out to be an issue with the process protection. Actually, it wasn't the application itself that was having the problem but one it ran below it! To fix it, open computer management, right-click on Default Web Site, select the Home Directory tab and change Application Protection to 'Low (IIS Process)'. Note, this is a rather dangerous thing to do, but in cases where it's the only option... ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57831 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57831&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57831&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57831&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57831&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57831&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57831&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57831&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57831&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
