I'm working on a PHP script that runs a Python script on the server. My server is running CentOS 5.4 with Apache 2.2.3 and PHP 5.1.6.
This is the PHP code:
chdir("/home/cjones/git/pywrapper"); $output = shell_exec("python /home/cjones/git/pywrapper/wrapper.py");
This give me this error:
Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: Permission denied (errno 13) in /var/www/html/wrapper.php on line 20
In the shell_exec call, I've also tried using "cd /home/cjo... && python ...", but that doesn't work.
The script needs to be run from that directory or it starts throwing errors because it can't find the files it wants. If all else fails, I could just hardcode the paths into the python script instead of using relative paths.
This is the relevant output of
ls -l for ~/git
drwxrwxr-x 5 cjones cjones 4096 Mar 23 08:45 pywrapper
I had also tried
chmod 777 ~/git/pywrapper but that didn't work. The current setting is just 775.
My best guess is that the apache user for some reason doesn't have access to my user's home directory? But I don't know how to allow it to.
