illegal command error code 127 in php exec function

I am using this php code:

exec("unrar e file.rar",$ret,$code);

and getting an error code of illegal command ie 127 ... but when I am using this command through ssh its working ... because unrar is installed on the server ... so can anyone guess why exec is not doing the right stuff?

Solution

  • Try using the direct path of the application (/usr/bin/unrar of whatever), it sounds like php can't find the application.
