Hello, I am trying to launch a php script using exec or passthru and I get a 404, no input file specified when I use the exact same script on other hosting and it is fine.

exec("/usr/bin/php /home/domain/public_html/script.php")

script.php exists, it's chmod 755, the same command entered in the command line works fine but when ran via the browser it gives the "No input file specified"

Is there some sort of voodoo necessary to make this work on your servers?

Thanks

Nope, same result...  I didn't realize you could use that !# directive in a php file, I thought that was for perl or shell scripting only.  Just to be sure we are on the same page, I am executing the php script from another php script, not perl or shell script.  Any other ideas?  I swear it works from the command line when I echo the command string and run it manually.  Has to be a php related access restriction or something.  Do I need a .htaccess with a basedir or any other magic?  I'll play around with that in the meantime.

Also, I have to explicitly write php debug statements to an error log in the web folder because I can't find the default php error log anywhere on the system.  And when I specify an absolute path to the error log in php.ini and chmod it like I've found in other posts it simply ignores it.  And yes, I am sure it's the right php.ini because it's what shows up in phpinfo.  log_errors is on and i do the standard reboot of apache after every change to php.ini.

Appreciate the help!

Hi,

PHP error logs also maybe recorded in the apache error log. As for how get separate php error log, can you please specify how PHP is configured in your Apache? Do you run php as mod_php or use suPHP?
