Hi

I try execute unsucesfull the next code from web page

<?php
$cmd1 = shell_exec ("sudo /sbin/service named stop");
echo "$cmd1";
?>

I need write a script execute some command, but try start or stop service
like named, network this don't work

I edit visudo and add the next lines

User_Alias MYGROUP = apache, xyz
Cmnd_Alias MYCOMMAND = /sbin/service
%MYGROUP ALL = MYCOMMAND
%MYGROUP ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

But don't work.

Suggest? Thanks ...

Generally, apache runs as www-data. What was the output of the command?

Thank you,

Actually, Apache generally runs (in order) as nobody, apache,
httpd, or daemon. Some distros (such as Ubuntu) or control panel
installations (such as Plesk) change this default. For example,
Ubuntu Feisty uses 'www-data', and Plesk uses a group of 'psacln'.

From PHP, if system access (i.e. - exec(), passthru(), etc.) is
allowed, the easiest way to find out which user you are with Apache on
*NIX is to run this file in a browser: <?php echo `whoami`;
?> --
