从浏览器调用PHP脚本失败但从CLI调用失败

Question

This is driving me nuts.

I've reduced my problem to this: I have a simple file 'test.php' that invokes a php file (this is from a bigger application, so in fact we need to execute many php scripts from a main script):

<?php

 exec("php /var/www/setActive.php 273 1 2>&1",$arO,$nO);
echo $nO.'|'.implode(',',$arO);

The original path for setActive.php is way longer, I shortened it for this example.

Now, if I try:

[root@stg]# sudo -u apache php test.php

I get:

0|

Great, this means the setActive.php script ran smoothly.

Now, if I try it from a browser or from curl:

[root@stg]#curl http://my.url/path/test.php

This is what I get:

1|Could not open input file: /var/www/setActive.php

I already reviewed all the permissions. Apache user has access to all directories and files. This was working ok in another server. I reviewed the php.ini files and there is no difference between them.

Maybe is a option that I'm not seeing, or an apache config option. I'm ran out of ideas.

Please help me!

Thanks in advance.

I have Linux, Cent OS. PHP 5.3.23

If permissions etc.. are all ok, possibly the apache config. in your setup has the 'ChrootDir' set:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#chrootdir

This uses the syscall chroot() and the view for '/' dir for that process starts from this setup dir, and hence everything should be relative to it.
