problem with Wget in PHP - php

if I run the command in shell it will download it,No error by shell
but by PHP page always it goes to if statement
I tried shell_exec and the result is the same
I really want to do it just by Wget
But if this is impossible and your solution is cURL please tell it in more details then I can find out how to code it
$flag=system('wget -P /srv/www/htdocs/didebansnort/Downloads http://www.snort.org/reg-rules/snortrules-snapshot-2900.tar.gz/myoinkcodethatmustbesecret
');
if(!$flag)
{
echo '<script>alert("please try again!")</script>';
}
If the problem is about permissions How can I fix it?
suggestion was fopen
but I have to download from command line
If you think it is possible!
here is the site
https://www.snort.org/snort-rules/#rules
well for example by rightclick on snortrules-snapshot-2904.tar.gz
I can have it
now I think it is impossible by fopen how can I make access to it?
I think solution is "just" download via command line in PHP
I don't know!
Thanks

Are you sure your PHP config allows you to execute system() and that it allows you to run it as root?

Which user is the sudo running as? Does that user have passwordless access to root (if so, why!) You really need to avoid the sudo bit, it's very probably failing. Just make sure the user PHP runs as can write to /srv/www/htdocs/didebansnort/Downloads (understanding the risks there-of) and run the wget without the sudo.
Even better, why not use one of the built in methods of PHP to get a remote file? (fopen?)

How to modify IIS permissions to run batch scripts in PHP?

I am trying to have a PHP file call a Windows batch script using
exec("runPy.bat");
I have also tried
exec("cmd /c \\server\somePath\runPy.bat");
It doesn't matter what I try, the batch script doesn't work. And I don't get any errors. After much research I found a post saying that the problem may be due to privaleges: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11613662
Can anyone show me safe/proper way to set up permissions so that I can call batch scripts in IIS? Or is it unsafe in general to do that? Using IIS8 if that helps.
To run batch, you need to use cmd, which you can call via:
system("cmd /c C:[path to file]");

why is my "at job" not executing my php script when created through a php webpage?

$output = shell_exec('echo "php '.$realFile.'" | at '.$targTime.' '.$targDate.' 2>&1');
print $output;
Can someone please help me figure out why the above line isn't doing what it's supposed to be doing? The idea is for it to create an 'at' job that will execute a php script. If I switch to the user apache(which will ideally control the at function when the php file is complete) I can run
echo "php $realFile.php" | at 00:00 05/30/17
and it'll do EXACTLY what I want. The problem is in the above snippet from my php file it will not create the at job correctly. when I do a at -c job# on both of them the job made from my file is about a 3rd the length missing the User info and everything. It basically starts at PATH= and goes down. Doesn't include HOSTNAME=, SHELL=, SSH_CLIENT=, SSH_TTY=, USER=. I assume it needs most of this info to run correctly. The end output (below)is always the same though it just doesn't have any of the top part for some reason. Let me know if you need more info. I didn't want to paste all of my code here as it contains job specific information.
${SHELL:-/bin/sh} << 'marcinDELIMITER0e4bb3e8'
php "$realFile".php
marcinDELIMITER0e4bb3e8
It doesn't seem to be a permission issue because I can su to apache and run the exact command needed. The folder the files are located in are also owned by apache. I've also resulted to giving each file I try to run 777 or 755 permissions through chmod so I don't think that's the issue.
I figured out a coupe ways around it a while back. The way I'm using right now is an ssh2 connect to my own server as root and creating it that way. No compromise as you have to enter the password manually each time. Really bad work around. The main issue is that apache doesn't have the correct permissions to do everything needed for the AT job so someone figuring that out would be awesome. Another option I found on a random webpage would be to use sudo through the php script, but basically the same minus having to reconnect to your own server. Any other options would be appreciated.
Reading the manual and logs would be a good place to start. In particular:
The value of the SHELL environment variable at the time of at invocation will determine which shell is used to execute the at job commands. If SHELL is unset when at is invoked, the user’s login shell will be used; otherwise, if SHELL is set when at is invoked, it must contain the path of a shell interpreter executable that will be used to run the commands at the specified time.
Other things to check are that the user is included in at.allow, SELinux is disabled and the webserver is not running chrrot.

Executing commands in php as root user in arch linux

i am using arch linux. i want to execute the php file which changes the ip of the system. i did
ifconfig eth0 192.168.163.137
in the terminal and it works fine. the same i tried doing with
shell_exec('ifconfig eth0 192.168.163.137');
in a php file and tried opening the page from a remotely located web browser from another pc connected via router. teh page displays nothing and the code also doesnt execute. i guess its the problem with the user executing it.apache is executing it. so i want it to be run by the root.can anyone please guide me to the execution of my code. i even installed sudo and just put
shell_exec('sudo ifconfig......');
it too doesnt execute...please help...thanku..:)
Sudo normally requires an interactive shell to enter your password. That's obviously not going to happen in a PHP script. If you're sure you know what you're doing and you've got your security issues covered, try allowing the Apache user to run sudo without a password, but only for certain commands.
For example, adding the following line in your sudoers file will allow Apache to run sudo without a password, only for the ifconfig command.
apache ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/ifconfig
Adjust the path and add any arguments to suit your needs.
Caution:
There might still be complications due to the way PHP calls shell commands.
Remember that it's very risky to allow the web server to run commands as root!
Probably a better alternative:
Write a shell script with the suid bit to make it run as root no matter who calls it.
shell_exec
This function is disabled when PHP is running in safe mode.
Documentation : http://php.net/manual/en/function.shell-exec.php
So, maybe try tweaking your php.ini file?
Write the commands to a queue and have cron pick them up, validate them (only allow known good requests), and run them, then mark that queue complete with the date and result.
Your end-user can then click/wait for update using ajax.

Can I rip DVDs from a local web app with HandBrake?

I'm building a PHP web application that will run on my machine, and one of its purposes is to call HandBrakeCLI with an exec() or similar call. If I run the command
HandBrakeCLI -i path_to_dvd_drive -o output_file --preset preset_name
from a shell, it works fine. However, when I put the exact same command in an exec() php function (or similar), it doesn't work, and doesn't return anything, aside from a return status of 0. No errors, nothing else.
Is this just a simple permissions issue that I'm not seeing, due to the lack of errors being spit out? Or am I missing something else?
For debugging, try running the command from the console but as the user PHP runs as. Here are some pointers how to find out which user that is.
Then use sudo to run the command as the Apache user. You will probably get more helpful information from that.
try to exec your script using absolute path (type which HandBrakeCLI in terminal to find it) and append 2>&1 to the end of command, like:
exec('HandBrakeCLI -i path_to_dvd_drive -o output_file --preset preset_name 2>&1')
this way if command outputs anything to stderr you will see it.
is handbrake in the path of whatever shell PHP is invoking when it does the exec()? Does whatever account PHP/webserver is running under have access to the directory where handbrak.exe is, and have permission to execute handbrake.exe? Does the webserver account have permissions to access the dvd drive, etc...
Many things to check, and without better diagnostic information, this is about the best you'll be able to get here.

run shell script from php

I am attempting to create a php script that can connect thru ssh to my Qnap TS219 server and run a command on it.
My script so far connects fine to the server but when I run the command I get an error message and I can't figure it out.
exec.sh
#!/bin/bash
cp /share/MD0_DATA/Qdownload/rapidshare/admin/script.txt /share/MD0_DATA/Qdownload/rapidshare/admin/script.sh
chmod 755 /share/MD0_DATA/Qdownload/rapidshare/admin/script.sh
nohup sh /share/MD0_DATA/Qdownload/rapidshare/admin/script.sh &
exit 0
script.sh
#!/bin/bash
/opt/bin/plowdown -o /share/MD0_DATA/Qdownload/rapidshare /share/MD0_DATA/Qdownload/rapidshare/admin/down.txt 2>/share/MD0_DATA/Qdownload/rapidshare/admin/output.txt
the command that I am currently running thru ssh after I submit the form:
echo $ssh->exec('sh /share/MD0_DATA/Qdownload/rapidshare/admin/exec.sh');
Right now generates the code below but only after I kill 2 bash processes (the page keeps loading indefinetly and the processor activity is at 100% if I don't kill the 2 bash processes):
/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Optware/share/plowshare/lib.sh: line 261: getopt: command not found start download (rapidshare): http://rapidshare.com/files/312885386/Free_Stuff-Your_Internet_eBay_Business_Free_Startup_Resources.rar /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Optware/share/plowshare/lib.sh: line 261: getopt: command not found /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Optware/share/plowshare/lib.sh: line 46: --insecure: command not found Error: failed inside rapidshare_download()
This script will be used in my local network, no access from outside, so I am not worry about security, I know the code looks very basic, primitive but I have no experience with php, shell script, so if someone can make any sense on this and help me out will be greatly appreciated.
Edit1. I also tried the shell_exec command still no joy and if I run the script thru putty works beautifully.
Edit2. I think we are on to something.
I added the code you suggested and I got the following message.
sh: /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Optware/share/plowshare: is a directory /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
I think at the moment the PATH is usr/bin:/bin:usr/sbin:/sbin and I think it should be /opt/bin /opt/sbin because there are the "executables". Any ideeas?
Thanks,
Chris.
Run this
echo $ssh->exec('pwd');
Does it list your path correctly? If so then your problem is NOT PHP, if it doesn't list or still gives an error then PHP is your problem and we can continue from there.
From the error you've listed, my first guess would be that PATH isn't set, so lib.sh can't find what it's looking for.
Remember you're logging in with a custom shell (PHP ssh), quite often things aren't set as they should be, so your scripts might not find requirements like paths and variables.
Edit:
Since it's giving /root, we at least know it's going through, why not also set the PATH etc...
echo $ssh->exec('PATH=$PATH;/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Optware/share/plowshare; sh /share/MD0_DATA/Qdownload/rapidshare/admin/exec.sh');
Remember you can also use this to see what is and isn't being set.
echo $ssh->exec('ECHO $PATH');
I think I got it:
Following viper_sb logic, I changed the code to:
echo $ssh->exec('PATH=$PATH:/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Optware/bin; sh /share/MD0_DATA/Qdownload/rapidshare/admin/exec.sh');
echo $ssh->exec('echo $PATH');
and magic, it worked ... I'll test it further, when I get home, but I think it worked, a file was downloaded in the /Qdownload/rapidshare folder ... hooray.
