I've got a php script running a web page, which needs to be able to do
things like "ps" to determine if other processes that it will start and
stop are running. I've discovered that (apparently) by default, the /proc
filesystem isn't available to the apache user. When I do a "su - apache"
to be the apache user and try to do a "ps," I get this:
$ ps -ef
Error: /proc must be mounted
To mount /proc at boot you need an /etc/fstab line like:
/proc /proc proc defaults
In the meantime, mount /proc /proc -t proc
$
I *only* get that when su'd to apache, if I'm a regular user, a "ps" works
just fine.
So the question is: How do I enable /proc for apache?
