I am having trouble doing things with PHP such as use the exec, system, etc. functions. I can't seem to find the correct php.ini to turn safe_mode off. The one file I did find has safe_mode turned off. When I view phpinfo() it shows the global column with safe_mode off, but for the local column, it is on. Is there a local php.ini file for each site? Where would it be?
I need to call a script to run in the background and I want to be able to use exec() to call it. Is there an alternative way to do this without bothering with the safe_mode value? i'd prefer to leave safe_mode on; but at the same rate, I am the only one with access to the server as it is my dedicated server. I am not familiar enough with Linux just yet to know how to give permissions to my sites to use things such as cron which I desperately need to figure out. I know how to add a crontab for a user, etc. But when the cron file runs, I just get a permission denied. I have tried it for both root and the site user. The only thing that does work is me getting an email stating permission denied. So I know my crontab file is correct. As far as permissions, I'm in a cloud. I have no idea what to do to make it work and maintain a secure system. Anyone know where some great (free) docs that will show me how to fish around in Linux? I don't need to be hand fed. Just some direction. Thanks! -- Nicole -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
