Screen cannot make directory

I made this script with php

PHP Code:




$name="CoD2-test";
$extra="+set net_port 28990 +set g_gametype sd +map mp_toujane";
$dir="/home/servers/cod2/War_Servers";
$exe="cod2_lnxded";

$exec=$dir."/".$exe;

echo shell_exec('cd '.$dir);
echo shell_exec('screen -d -m -S root '.$name.$exec.$extra);

and when I run it it give me this error.

Cannot make directory '/var/run/screen': File exists

The directory already exists and there are other screens running.I think this is a server related error. Any help?

I am running CentOS 6.0 Final

Are you sure you don't need spaces in your variables or where you concat them in the last line? As your code stands it'll execute

Code:

screen -d -m -S root CoD2-test/home/servers/cod2/War_Servers/cod2_lnxded+set net_port 28990 +set g_gametype sd +map mp_toujane

I'm guessing that you really want:

Code:

screen -d -m -S root CoD2-test /home/servers/cod2/War_Servers/cod2_lnxded +set net_port 28990 +set g_gametype sd +map mp_toujane

I tried it but gave me the same error
