Using Ubuntu 20.04
I can run gocryptfs with exec() from the command line and it works fine. If I try to use the same php script from Firefox it won't work. Here are the particulars.
script myexec.php:
Code:
// begin php:
$output1=$retval1=$output2=$retval2=null;
exec('whoami', $output1, $retval1);
exec('gocryptfs -allow_other acctsEncrypted accounts', $output2, $retval2);
echo "one .....";
print_r($output1);
echo "two .....";
print_r($output2);
// end php:
// =================================================
From Command Line running script myexec.php:
command: rick@rick-MS-7C02:~/DBases/Dbmysql/aa_SecureDir$ php -f myexec.php
output:
Password:
one .....Array
(
[0] => rick // ========== > owner - rick
)
two .....Array
(
[0] => Decrypting master key
[1] => The option "-allow_other" is set. Make sure the file permissions protect your data from unwanted access.
[2] => Filesystem mounted and ready.
)
// ======================================================
From Firefox running script myexec.php:
command: exec('whoami', $output1, $retval1);
output: one..... Array ( [0] => www-data ) // ============ > owner www-data
command: exec('gocryptfs -allow_other acctsEncrypted accounts', $output2, $retval2);
output: two .....Array ( )
permissions:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 rick www-data 664 Apr 21 11:26 myexec.php* // ============= > rick & www-data have permission
-r-------- 1 rick www-data 385 Apr 16 15:09 gocryptfs.conf // ========== > only rick can read

Thanks in advance for help in making this work.
