Lately I've been playing with R-Pi. Now I'm trying to stream with the Raspberry pi b+ and camera.
I have a basic website in php from where I give commands to camera (Start - Stop streaming).
The problem is that when I press Start Streaming , the RED led from camera will light for a sec then it's going off.
When I choose to run the stream from command line(terminal) , it works.
Here's my script :
#!/bin/sh
raspivid -o - -t 0 -n -w 600 -h 400 -fps 12 | cvlc -vvv stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554/}' :demux=h264
And here's my php file where do I call the shell script:
$trimite = shell_exec('sudo sh streaming.sh');
Any ideeas?
Thanks in advance !
Sounds like this could be being caused by a permissions error. Run the command sudo chmod +x streaming.sh
If that does not fix the problem, (assuming you have a webserver running apache) run "sudo a2enmod" in terminal, then sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/cgi-bin then restart apache (sudo service apache restart)
Note:
If error "could not write permissions, directory does not exist" occurs, you will need to run command 'sudo mkdir /usr/lib/cgi-bin/' in terminal
Create a cgi script to call bash script:
#!/bin/bash
echo ""
echo "Content-type: text/html"
echo "<html><head><title>Light on"
echo "</title>"
echo "</head><body>"
echo "$(bash /home/pi/streaming.sh) #this calls the shell script"
echo "</body></html>"
Then you must save this file as /usr/lib/cgi-bin/first.cgi and assign it permissions with "sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/cgi-bin/first.cgi" Assuming that your apache server is set up correctly (Various guides can be found about enabling the cgi module correctly, if a2enmod did not work properly), you should now be able to go to the web browser on another LAN machine and browse to http://IPofRPI/cgi-bin/first.cgi.
The script should execute. Congratulations!
If the script does not execute, you can read up about CGI and apache modules online and see what is wrong with your scripts.
I had kind of the same problem a while back and that question can be found here: Here
I hope this helps you, or someone else :)

I an Ubuntu 16.04 machine running NGINX and PHP. I would like to enable the www-data user (via web browser) to be able to access a PHP page (php-test.php) that will execute either a bash script (script_test.sh) or execute Linux CLI commands using shell_exec or exec.
I have done the following.
Created my bash script file script_test.sh
#!/bin/bash
whoami
echo $USER
echo 'test'
exit
when I run this from CLI, using
./ script_test.sh
It does indeed work and I can see the info echoed out in the CLI.
I then pursued the goal of being able to allow the www-data user run this bash script through a PHP page running on this same machine from NGINX.
I created my php page (php_test.php) and it contains the following
<?php
chdir('/path/to/my/files/');
shell_exec('./script_test.sh'); // ATTEMPT RUN SCRIPT
shell_exec('/path/to/my/files/script_test.sh'); // ATTEMPT RUN SCRIPT
echo 'test 123'; // SIMPLE ECHO IN THE PHP PAGE
?>
I then ran the following to modify the sudoers file, giving www-data access to the bash script
sudo nano /etc/sudoers
to which I added the following line
www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /path/to/my/files/script_test.sh
I then made sure the script was executable, for the sake of my testing, not worrying about security, I just set it to 777 with the following command
sudo chmod 777 script_test.sh
From there I opened a web browser and browsed to the localhost (NGINX) web server (php_test.php) and the only thing I see on the page is the 'test 123' that I echo from PHP... none of the bash script appears to have run at all. I tailed the NGINX error log and don't see any error at all.
Is there another log that could contain clues on this?
What else should I check here?
The result of shell_exec() is returned as string. To display it in your browser, simply add echo.
<?php
chdir('/path/to/my/files/');
echo shell_exec('./script_test.sh'); // ATTEMPT RUN SCRIPT
echo shell_exec('/path/to/my/files/script_test.sh'); // ATTEMPT RUN SCRIPT
echo 'test 123'; // SIMPLE ECHO IN THE PHP PAGE
?>
See the Return Values in the manual:
The output from the executed command or NULL if an error occurred or
the command produces no output.
Can you try to use passthru instead of shell_exec, and see the output anything?
Also try this, and see if it shows on the log file:
if(file_exists('/path/to/my/files/script_test.sh')) { die('File not found!'); }
shell_exec("nohup /path/to/my/files/script_test.sh > /path/to/my/files/output.log &");
Also, are you running PHP with the www-data user (check your fpm pool)?
Do you have any error on /var/log/syslog or /var/log/auth.log ?
Have you restarted the server after changing the sudo permissions?
What does su - www-data -c "whoami" and su - www-data -s /bin/bash -c "whoami" outputs?
Does su - www-data -s /bin/bash -c "/path/to/my/files/script_test.sh" output something?
I want to start program when I enter my webpage, and problem is in permissions(??) because when I try
echo exec('whoami');
I've got valid response (www-data) but when i try code like it:
echo exec('/var/www/./sitesend');
and
echo passthru(/var/www/./sitesend');
I got no response. I tried to
chown www-data /var/www/sitesend
chmod 755 /var/www/sitesend
My C++ app runs correctly, and its sending by NRF infromations to turn lights.
But not work, when enter page app won't run and I don't get any reps in echo.
I don't have a conclusive answer, but you can try a number of things:
Try the follow command to see if www-data may run the command.
sudo -u www-data /var/www/sitesend
Try running a PHP script with the passthru command from the commandline.
See if you're running AppArmor for the Apache process. AppArmor will block execution for files not white listed.
ls /etc/apparmor.d
I'd need you precious help on a matter I am spending hours on.
Scope: Apache2 and PHP running on a raspberry pi;
Premise: my little knowledge of Linux environment!
The objective: launching a long-run php script, that opens sockets, from another php script running as webpage. In other terms, the application is a chat and I need to start the php server script form a web page, for my convenience.
The issue: if I run it from the the console, logged as "pi", with the following command
php -q /var/www/chatSocket.php > /var/www/tmp/socketProcessOutput.txt 2>&1 & echo $!
it works like a charm, but if it try to do so from a script, with the following (don't mind the concatenated strings and assignment of output to variables - it made no difference removing them):
$result .= "Result of pkill (killed process): " .shell_exec('sudo pkill -f SongWebSocket.php') ."\n";
$result .= "Launching new process: id returned:". shell_exec('php -q /var/www/chatSocket.php > /var/www/tmp/socketProcessOutput.txt 2>&1 & echo $!') ."\n";
$result .= "Checking running SongWebSocket.php process:" ."\n";
$result .= shell_exec('ps -A aux| grep -e SongWebSocket.php -e USER') ."\n";
.. it does not work (it seems like it launch the script but the sockets ar not open).
Any clue why this happens?
Also, and this can be for my little knowledge of Linux, why i get a dioffrent aoutput from the command
ps aux| grep -e SongWebSocket.php -e USER
if I launch it from the shell, as user pi, or from the sript, as www-data user.
I Look forward for your help. Thanks in advance!
Marco.
www-data user doesn't have the permisson I guess. why not add "sudo" for every shell_exec line? (sudo starts the programm with root permission). it's not pretty and not secure but it might work on you local home-network. sudo php ... sudo ps -A aux etc. In addition you should make sure that the php safe_mode is off. you can see that by adding phpinfo(); to you php code
I would like lauched a command in php over my RPI.
The command is echo 'standby 0' | cec-client -s, it's work fine in ssh my Tv shutdown, but in php echo shell_exec("......") return adapters autodetect FAILED ... But also mkdir doesn't work with sheel_exec, so i think it's probably PATH problem, but i don't know how to fix it. My PATH in ssh is /usr/local/bin....... and in php is /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin .
How i can fix it. Sorry for my english ...
I tried the same and got a message saying "failed to open vchiq instance". I found a question on Raspberry Pi StackExchange suggesting to add the user to the "video" group. I did that with usermod -a -G video www-data and then restarted apache with /etc/init.d/apache2 restart. Then I was able to use cec-client from PHP and apache.
It is permissions problem. While running command via ssh you executing it as user pi(probably), but via shell_exec you execute command as user www-data which do not have necessary permissions. You can check this by running echo shell_exec("whoami");
You can easly fix this by adding line "www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" into your "/etc/sudoers" file and then run "echo shell_exec("sudo echo 'standby 0' | sudo cec-client -s");", hovewer this will add to the user www-data all of the sudo permissions and it is very unsecure, but it will work. If you want to do it more secure way you need to find which permissions cec-client required to run properly and then add them to user www-data.
I'm new in using Linux, I'm trying to write a PHP code which can run .exe linux compatible file, I've made a short shell script
hello bash script:
#!/bin/bash
./program.exe file.mp4 // file.mp4 is an an input for .exe
echo "Hello World!"
shell.php:
<?php
$output = exec ("./hello ");
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
?>
Now when I run shell.php using web browser it shows Hello World! but the .exe doesn't run, however when I run php using terminal command php shell.php, It works fine.
I think I'm having problems with permissions but I'm new with Linux and I don't know how to solve this.
Update:
I ignored the shell script and I used
<?php
$output = shell_exec ("cd /var/www/ && ./program.exe file.mp4 2>& " );
?>
also I granted access to program.exe
chmod 777 program.exe
the error I receive in the browser :could not open debug.bin!
use the absolute path to hello executable exec("sh path/to/the/file")
I'm using something similar to call an app compiled with mono on a remote ubuntu webserver and return it's output to the calling script.
For any of this to work properly wine needs to be already installed.
On Ubuntu systems try:
sudo apt-get -y install wine
You then need to know the owner of the web server process. If you are running the apache web server try the following:
cat /etc/apache2/envvars | grep "RUN"
The output will look something like this:
export APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data
export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=www-data
export APACHE_RUN_DIR=/var/run/apache2$SUFFIX
Now that you have the name of the process owner, which in this case is www-data you should ensure the file is owned the user and its group:
sudo chown www-data /var/www/program.exe
sudo chgrp www-data /var/www/program.exe
Finally, we can invoke the application from inside our PHP script by passsing it as a parameter to 'wine' and using its full file path.
<?php
$output = shell_exec("wine /var/www/program.exe file.mp4" );
?>
Any output from the above shell command sent to the command line will be saved in the PHP script variable $output.
It looks like you are trying to do some output redirection with your use of program.exe file.mp4 2>& so I've left that off of the example for clairity.
Try using the absolute path, such as exec("sh /path/to/file")
Generally, php is run as www or apache, so make sure that the execute access permission is granted to all user.
