Unable to start VNC server from PHP
I'm trying to get PHP to start up vncserver environment before it starts up a gameserver.
if(isset($_POST['start-1']))
putenv('HOME=/home/psych/');
shell_exec('sh /home/psych/mw3/Infected/start.sh');
echo "SERVER 1 STARTED";
when i check my apache logs i get this error every time...
vncserver: The HOME environment variable is not set.
Here is what's in start.sh
vncserver -geometry 1000x800 -depth 24
cd /home/psych/mw3/Infected/
screen -d -m bash -c "export DISPLAY=:1 ; server.exe -param1 -param2";
How can i set HOME or avoid it checking so my php can start the server?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
I went off export HOME=/home/psych and got this
vncserver: Could not create /home/psych//.vnc.
I then tried export HOME=/and got this...
vncserver: Could not create //.vnc.
I just need a hand with what comes after HOME=
Cheers

If you are running the HTTP server with a user who is different than psych, then the second part of your query is probably a permissions issue.

Does the following work?
shell_exec('export HOME=/home/psych && sh /home/psych/mw3/Infected/start.sh');
Or, try adding (to the beginning of start.sh):
export HOME
