Node Module command from PHP exec() not working

From Terminal this works just fine and returns what is expected: 

/Users/me/Desktop/Clients/IM/apps/node_modules/.bin/mjml newslettercode.html

This also works just fine from Terminal

node node_modules/.bin/mjml newslettercode.html

This also works just fine from Terminal 

node_modules/.bin/mjml newslettercode.html

Im running MAMP & domain as my development.

From my .php file in my browser i get exec() error 127 and no output.

This test code: 

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

define('ROOT_DIR', realpath(__DIR__.'/..'));

$file =  ROOT_DIR.'/apps/node_modules/.bin/mjml newslettercode.html';

exec($file, $output, $responseCode);

print_r ($file);

echo "<pre>";
print_r($output);
echo "</pre>";

echo "<pre>";
print_r($responseCode);
echo "</pre>";

Returns this: 

/Users/me/Desktop/Clients/IM/apps/node_modules/.bin/mjml newslettercode.html

Array

127

Im assuming that Node is not running on My MAMP Host? im not sure.. any help would be appreciated.

Solution

  • The problem Was in path of the aplication php can't find the application by using just node /../..php try to use the command bellow should make the work :

    @HamzaNig : /usr/bin/node mostly is the default path

    @Joe : /usr/local/bin/node is the default path on his platform
