From: Operating system: Ubuntu Linux 10.04LTS Lucid PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Program Execution Bug Type: Bug Bug description:system(): Unable to fork
Description: ------------ On an Ubuntu 10.04LTS Lucid system with PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 Running from the command line: php some_script.php Calling within: system('/usr/bin/php a_script.php'); Getting: PHP Warning: system(): Unable to fork [/usr/bin/php a_script.php] in /path/to/some_script.php on line 258 I've seen plenty of bug reports for Windows users but this is under Linux and I don't see any open reports for Linux. Expected result: ---------------- On a different Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic system with PHP 5.2.10-2ubuntu6.4, the same code works fine, e.g. a_script.php is executed and the output is displayed. Actual result: -------------- The script specified in the system() call is not executed and no output is displayed, just the "Unable to fork" warning. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51912&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51912&r=mysqlcfg
