Editing shell scripts

[james_cwy]

I managed to allow the editing of a shell script through PHP using fopen w

But when I want to run the shell script through php it says, error-no such file or directory.

I do not know why. Any ideas?

I have tried r+ and w+ and got the same result.

My next way is to append the content at the textarea but I need to delete all the content first in the file.

How can I do this?

Thanks
James

I'd like to see what you're doing....
Does the script have the right permissions to run?
Is it running from the same directory?
Are you passing it the absolute path?

<?php

$filename = "/root/UMThesis/Honeyd/honeyd-0.7a-beta2/start-arpd.sh";

$fp = fopen ($filename, "w");

// write to file
if (!fwrite($fp, $_POST['content'])) {
echo "Could Not Write to file";
exit;
}

echo "Start script for arpd saved";

fclose($fp);

echo "<center><a href='javascript:window.close()'>Close Window</a></center>";

?>

It saves it but when I run system to run this script it says no such file or no such dir

Check the execute permissions of the file...

[james_cwy]

The permission for the sh file is 757.

And you can run the file no problems, using the same system call, before editing?

Yes, I can run the system() to run the shell script but once I have edited it and try to run it, it says, error, no such file or directory
