minimserver cli issue with php on synology - lyapounov - 23-08-2025 07:30
Hi Simon
on my synology /var/packages/MinimServer/target/bin/mscript -c rescan
works well in cli mode. Same with /volume1/@appstore/MinimServer/bin/mscript -c rescan (first being a symbolic link to the other)
However, in my php program,
exec_shell('/var/packages/MinimServer/target/bin/mscript -c rescan')
returns null (same with the other command)
I imagine an issue with rights ? If so, should I change the rights /owner of the mscript program ?
(currently -rwxr-xr-x 1 MinimServer MinimServer 3187 Aug 24 2021 mscript
while my php files are drwxrwxrwx+ serge users
Thx !

I don't see an exec_shell PHP function. There is a shell_exec function.
Your file permissions look fine.

Sorry tapping error. I meant shell_exec
So why does shell_exec return null while the command itself is ok ?

The following is working for me:
/usr/bin/php somefile
where somefile contains the following:
<?php
shell_exec("/var/packages/MinimServer/target/bin/mscript -c rescan");
?>
If you want to see output from the rescan command, use the following:
<?php
system("/var/packages/MinimServer/target/bin/mscript -c rescan");
?>
