I have a tricky step to walk for my system (openvpn, 20 clients - raspberries, 1 server CentOS).

I want to make an auto install, from clients, for their keys. They call a php page on the server, which generate a .tar containing client.key, client.crt & ca.crt (and conf).

Allright this works perfectly in root ssh. Now I make a php script with a shell_exec(my shell script).

But almost all commands fails. A matter of being root or not (my php is in /home/non-root-user/public_html/testgenerateforinit)

for instance : pkitool, cp /etc/openvpn/mykey.tgz /home/.../public_html/.../ fails in php.

How should I process ? Tks

You'll have to give use some more information. At a minimum: (1) the code that generates the .tar, which I assume is just a few lines. (2) How you know the shell_exec() call fails - what error messages, etc. (3) What appears in /var/log/httpd/error_log, or where ever CentOS keeps it's apache error log files. (4) The permissions and ownership of "my shell script" –  Bruce Ediger Jun 5 at 14:20

Oh finally, I had a NULL feedback, cause of sudo only for terminal (tty). deactivted it for my user. It works a charm now.

$ visudo
#in sudoers :
Defaults:myusername !requiretty

oh, and :1/ I passed all absolute-path (avoid php chi); 2/ I made myuser sudoer with no password for executing easy-rsa/build-key. –  ArchiT3K Jun 8 at 12:00
