From:
Operating system: Ubuntu Linux 10.04LTS Lucid
PHP version: 5.3.2
Package: Program Execution
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:system(): Unable to fork
Description:
------------
On an Ubuntu 10.04LTS Lucid system with PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2
Running from the command line: php some_script.php
Calling within: system('/usr/bin/php a_script.php');
Getting:
PHP Warning: system(): Unable to fork [/usr/bin/php a_script.php] in
/path/to/some_script.php on line 258
I've seen plenty of bug reports for Windows users but this is under Linux
and I don't see any open reports for Linux.
Expected result:
----------------
On a different Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic system with PHP 5.2.10-2ubuntu6.4, the
same code works fine, e.g. a_script.php is executed and the output is
displayed.
Actual result:
--------------
The script specified in the system() call is not executed and no output is
displayed, just the "Unable to fork" warning.
