Re: @EXEC command not work :(

I have a begin of explanation When PHP is run as CGI it's work but with this header message : '\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\scriptdir' CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory. UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory. Status: 200 OK X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.8 Content-type: text/html @exec function work well Now when PHP is run as a FAST-CGI then it's not work at ALL (ie: just the @exec function not work, the other work ok!) is it a normal behavior ? thanks you by advance stephane On 5/25/2010 2:46 AM, Niel Archer wrote:

Safe mode in PHP is OFF ... Thanks by advance for you help stephane

Is this operating in a CLI or web-server environment? If it is web-server then it is probably a permissions issue. By default Apache/PHP do NOT have permissions to access network resources. You must create a user to run Apache and give that user the permissions needed. This of course assumes you're using Apache, but I would guess similar problem would happen with IIS.
