I wonder if anyone has experienced something like this, as it seems
truly bizarre and is causing me to tear out my hair (what little there
is left of it)....
The exec() function just suddenly stopped working, for no discernable
reason. Here is the code:
$execdir = $homedirectory. "/".$genename ."/".$rundir;
// Run the Python script on the Exported text file(s).
$cmd = "/home/ehringer/MAELab/bin/Parse_AD_Output .py --FinalCall ".
$execdir;
$debug = 0;
if ($debug) {
echo "<brcmd = ".$cmd."<br >";
}
echo "<h3>Differ ence Report for Project: ".
$projectname."& nbsp; &nbs p; Gene: ".
$genename."&nbs p; & nbsp;SNP: ".$snpname. "</h3>";
// echo the selected filenames here as a record:
echo "<h4>Files compared in this run:<br>";
foreach ($filename_arr as $file) {
echo $file."<br>";
}
echo "</h4>";
echo "<button onclick=\"locat ion.href='saveT empDiff.php?cmd =".
$cmd."'\" >Save As Temp Comparison File</button> ";
echo "<button onclick=\"locat ion.href='saveF inalDiff.php?cm d=".
$cmd."&gene=".$ genename."&snp= ".$snpname. "'\" >Make Final Calls</
button> ";
echo "<input type='button' onClick='locati on.href=\"selec tProject.php
\"' value='Select Projects' class='btn'>&nb sp;";
echo "<button onClick='locati on.href=\"logou t.php\"'><butto n>Logout</
button><br>";
echo "<pre>";
// Now execute the PHP function that runs an external program and
capture the output
// in an array.
exec($cmd,$outp ut,$rtnvar);
if ($rtnvar) {
foreach ($output as $var) {
if ( (strcmp("seen before!!",$var) ==0) || (strpos($var,"C ALLS")>0))
{
continue;
}
echo $var."<br>";
}
} else {
echo "<h3>Execut ion of Parse_AD_Output failed!</h3><br>";
}
echo "</pre>";
?>
If I set debug true, and output the cmd variable, I can cut-&-paste
the cmd, and it executes fine at the command line in the target
directory. (The command is a Python script that takes as input all
files in the target directory.)
This was working fine for weeks. My sysadmin says nothing has changed
in the webserver or php installation.
If anyone has *any* insights as to why exec() would just stop working,
*please* respond here; this is holding up a critical project!
Thanks much,

I dont believe nothing has changed!
functions can be prevented from being used in the php.ini using
disable_functio ns = exec
for instance.
When you say stopped working, does it just not return anything, is it
the call to exec which is not happening or the output from your
script. Try using &2>1 to redirection the errors
Is there no chance of using passthru or system instead?
has there been any system wide security changes? has the kernel on the
machine change over to secure Linux,
are there simply no errors outputted form the php script at all?
Thats all I have right now. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I 've have a stored procedure that compares fields across databases.
In order to do so it requires 2 values it acquires from 2 tables. The
search is based on the ID of the data owner and a subject:
proc_evaluate_results @StudentId = '222222', Course = 'PSY101'
In order to obtain those values I run a cursor accross my records and
SELECT THEM INTO 2 @variables, which then replace 222222 and PSY101
with dynamic values eg.

In doing the extension to the python debugger which I have here:

I came across one little thing that it would be nice to get done better.
I notice on stack traces and tracebacks, an exec or execfile command
appears as a stack entry -- probably as it should since it creates a

However the frame information for exec or execfile looks like this:...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
