Need to know two things...

[fneergaard]

Im trying to make a php program doing two things:

I start by executing this:

$output = shell_exec("tar cvfz /var/www/backup/file_backup_$date.tar.gz /var/www/");

echo "<pre>$output</pre>";

The output does not include all files and directories. What am I doing wrong? Is it something with userrights?

After I want to create a cron file and I want to make sure it is started!

Can you help me?

Thanks,

Frank

Re: Need to know two things...

I'm not an expert on shell_exec() . If you are getting some output, then it is probably a rights issue with the missing directories (folders). Make sure the world has read access to all folders to be included in your tar.
