Has anybody been able to get System(), Exec() and Passthru() to work on NT 4.0 Server and IIS 4.0? If so I would be very interested in how you were able to get it to work. I have opened up the following bug report as i have asked this question before without a resolution. Thanks...Spencer Bug id #2644 Status: Open From: shearer@channel1.com Date: 1999-10-31 09:20:55 Type: Misbehaving function OS: NT 4.0 Server PHP Version: 4.0 Beta 2 Short Desc.: System(), Exec() and Passthru() are unable to fork process Using NT 4.0 Server and IIS 4.0, I am unable to get the functions System(), Exec() and Passthru() to start the command that is passed to the function as an argument. Example: Mytest.exe is on the root of the c: drive. system("c:\\Mytest.exe"); Gives the following message: Warning: Unable to fork [c:\Mytest.exe] The same result are displayed when I use Exec() and Passthru()
