How to execute Groovy script in PHP

I'm trying to execute a command through shell_exec in php. But I'm getting an error.

My code :

shell_exec('groovy log_analyser1.groovy').

But I'm getting this error :

sh: groovy: command not found
Solution

  • Put groovy installation somewhere sane (/usr/local or /opt or whatever your ops team allows you) and then call groovy with the absolute path.

    Since you have currently installed in in your root users ~, other users (like the user your php/httpd runs as) don't have access to it (for good reasons).

    Even if you would use the same user as your php/httpd and use GVM there you will have a hard time to make this work properly, since GVM relies on some scripts to run. So just copy from your GVM files (~/.gvm/groovy/<version>) where it's easy for all users to access it.
