Crash when started by php script.

Postby hillbilly1980 » 04 May 2009 12:03

I have a camera setup that i'm running that when a user wants to record it fires up and controls an mosiac setup in vlc. When i start the vlc server as any user, even the www-data in a shell it works just fine. When I go a step further and have a php script start the vlc server using the system() function it gets to a specific point and crashes.

When it works, aka logged in as normal user over ssh, su -u www-data, run batch which contains cvlc command

Code: Select all

PHP scripts typically have usage resource limits and/or security checks (SElinux...) that prevent VLC from working.
