    What is the errormessage you get? Depending on your log_level err message may not be displayed but stored to the webserver's logfile.

    Might be, that either safe mode is disallowing the usage of exec or the function is disbaled in general in your php.ini.

    Just another thing, whereever the content of $file_data['dir'], carfully verify it's content for validity.

    Normally the default error level is to display all except notices or even including notices in some cases. So if this is not changed it should be either logged to the webserver's logfile or to your display.

    Are you talking about the same vhost where exec in custom errorpages is working and when you are trying to run your script? As you can influence / override some default settings on a vhost basis.

    Another issue could be that exec is working but the code passed throguh is wrong. So do you see any difference when warpping a var_dump() around the exec part as exec returns the last line of the command's result.

    just copy it

    i copy the command for insert custom error pages .. to see is the problem from my script and it wont work again,
    for more clear view i put error_reporting(E_ALL);
    ini_set('display_errors', '1');
    and still no errors
    var_dump of source and target is string(46) "/usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/bss/content" string(34) "/var/www/clients/client6/web10/web"
    finaly i have to exec cp -r /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/bss/content /var/www/clients/client6/web10/web
    when i execute rhis one from shell (as a root) ... its workin ...
    when i try to execute trought ispconfig ... no error .. no nothin .. even when im using the same script that puts custom error pages. i have no idea whats happened

    apache log:
    cp: cannot create directory `/var/www/clients/client6/web10/web/content': Permission denied
    chmod: changing permissions of `/var/www/clients/client6/web10/web': Operation not permitted
    chmod: cannot read directory `/var/www/clients/client6/web10/web': Permission denied

    if i have rights to cp error pages why i dont have rights to cp other?

    You mix up interface and server. You can not use exec in the ispconfig interface as the interface runs under a non priviliged user for security reasons and does not has access to the customer websites. You have to write a server plugin if you want to run commands as root user.

    Take a look at the existing server plugins in /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available to get an idea how they work. Every plugin must have a unique name. These plugins are event based, so depending on the event that you want to execute your code, write a new plugin which subscribes to the events. To activate the plugin, create a symlink in the plugins-enabled directory to the file in the plugins-available directory.

    The events get been called by ispconfig, so you can not launch them manually. You just bind a function in the local plugin to listen for a specific even. If you take a look at the existing, you will find the code in the onLoad function of the plugin. Example:

    $app->plugins->registerEvent('web_domain_insert',$this->plugin_name,'insert');

    This binds the local function of the plugin with the name "insert" to the event "web_domain_insert".

    Then you have most likely a typo in the php code of your plugin which causes php to stop before the lockfile gets deleted. To debug this:

    1) Comment out the server.sh cronjob in the root crontab.

    2) Delete the lockfile:

    rm -f /usr/local/ispconfig/server/temp/.ispconfig_lock

    3) run:

    /usr/bin/php -q /usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.php

    as root user to get the php error message.

    result

    this is the result ....
    18.01.2010-17:42 - DEBUG - There is already an instance of server.php running. Exiting.
    18.01.2010-17:48 - DEBUG - Set Lock: /usr/local/ispconfig/server/temp/.ispconfig_lock
    18.01.2010-17:48 - DEBUG - Found 1 changes, starting update process.

    why this is happening ..
    and should i get server.sh again to enable ?

    I dont think so. Make sure that you disabled the cronjob and then delete the lock file so often until it gets not created anymore automatically as there might be other processes waiting and then run the server script manually as I told you above.
