note 58218 added to ref.exec

Even more on the "unable to fork" error. It was driving me crazy! I did check that the permissions were set for the IUSR_[server] account to read & exec cmd.exe. Yet still it failed. It wasn't until I got desperate that I happened to look in "special permissions." (Click the advanced tab underneath the regular list of permissions.) There I found that somehow the IUSR_[server] account had a special permission DENYING access! Of course deny overrides everything else. This was a newly set up install of XP pro. It must be the default of something (I'd guess IIS) to set this deny permission just to make our lives miserable. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58218 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58218&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58218&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58218&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58218&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58218&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58218&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58218&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58218&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
