hello all,
am using fedora core 9 and i cannot login as root using the GUI
am developing an interface to act as a router and also a firewall...my problem is that i cannot run IPtables in my php script.... i have searched a bit on the internet and saw the setuid bit... and also something called chown.... how do i make system commands run in my php script? am quite new to linux and i cannot find a solution to this problem... :S
please help...
well the problem is not in my code.... i used the shell_exec commands in php... but it does not execute the system commands in shell... for example if i write shell_exec('service network restart')... the output gives me shutting down failed... is there some permissions problem or owner of file problem??
hello there... well thank you very much for the suggestions... but i figured out the problem ... i set the userID bit and it worked. think that apache can execute the commends now
