Unfortunately you are not using a current version of PHP -- the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open". Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP. PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 is the Ubuntu version of PHP. Please try the release from php.net, the current svn snapshot or report bugs to Ubuntu.

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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51912&edit=1
