I have dedicated server. I have installed FFmpeg on my root. All commands related to FFmpeg works if I logged in as root but no command is working if I logged in as user. I have tried adding one user to sudoers also. Also I want to use FFmpeg commands in PHP shell_exec() or exec(). Can someone tell me the solution. Thanks in advance.
user command:
$ ffmpeg
output:
-bash: ffmpeg: command not found
root command:
$ ffmpeg
output

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'
Ensure that the user's PATH includes the directory in which the ffmpeg binaries are located (usually /usr/local/bin or /opt/local/bin ).
If you can't find it, you can ask the system which one it uses when you're logged in as root with the command:
which ffmpeg
In your case, per the info you've added to the question, it looks like the binaries are in /root/bin
Which may be a problem in itself, if /root/bin is not world readable and the contents world executable.
