opendkim命令无法使用PHP

Question

I am running this command opendkim-genkey --domain=example.com --selector=example --subdomains on Linux terminal, It is working properly, but when I try to run this in my PHP page like shell_exec("opendkim-genkey --domain=example.com --selector=example --subdomains"); this is not working.. I also try to run another command in my php page, and I get result of them.

Answer 1

I can see three explanations:

• opendkim-genkey is not found because the environment variables are not the same: use an absolute path

• Your Apache (or other webserver) user does not have permission to execute this command: you can use sudo, see https://serverfault.com/questions/157272/allow-apache-to-run-a-command-as-a-different-user

• And as @rups suggested, your user may need write permission (if opendkim-genkey generates a key file)
