Getting PHP to run a Python script

Question

I am trying to run a Python program using PHP. Here\'s the code

$command = \'/usr/local/bin/python script.py file\';
$temp = exec($command, $output);
         


        

Answer 1

Realized what was wrong:

1. The domain was set up as a virtual host and PHP's safe_mode was enabled. proc_open, exec, system, passthru etc. do not work under safe_mode I guess.

2. Put the script in the directory accessible by the vhost. Apache wasn't able to access the directories outside the vhost document root.

Thanks for the help!
