minimserver cli issue with php on synology

[lyapounov]

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 ?

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");
?>
