/usr/syno/etc

By the way, there is a Linux command to find files:

cd ..
find -name php.ini


Please move this thread to the modding room, thanks

ssh and telnet are not enabled by default. Use search function in this forum to find out how to enable it, tanks and happy new year.

According to my php.ini in /usr/syno/etc the safe mode is off but whatever php script tries to use the shell_exec() command gets a result saying that shell_exec() is not available in safe mode. Does somebody have an idea where the error might be?

Thanx.

Did you ever find an answer for this issue? I'm running into the same problem - php.ini shows safe_mode to be off, but running scripts still error out with safe_mode issues.

Sorry, but I did not find an answer to the problem. I am not that good with php or html, so I pretty much gave up and started looking for some other solutions to the problem.

I have got the exact same problem here. I have the old DS-101 (no letters ) but the software is upgraded to the latest release for the DS-101 (PHP 5.1.2, MySQL 4.1.15, Apache 1.3.33).

I get this error:

Code: Select all

Warning: shell_exec() [function.shell-exec]: Cannot execute using backquotes in Safe Mode in /volume1/web/util/test.php on line 2

When I open a php page with this code:

Code: Select all

<?php
print `ls -la /volume1/web`;
?>

And yes, I have also checked, checked again and then triple checked that Safe Mode is off. I have even tried adding the full path to the directory containing my script to safe_mode_include_dir and safe_mode_exec_dir but that did not work for me either. I would also be very interested in a solution as this is a feature I use very much - and without it - well then - I do not have much use for Apache, PHP and MySQL in my NAS

Hi,
this seems to be an important and undocumented issue, that is not usual in standard php. I asked Synology about this same point a few months ago:

Regarding the PHP-functionality, I cannot use the group of shell functions in PHP (popen, shell_exec. and others). I know they are potentially risky, but it makes impossible to use certain applications. How can I reactive or reenable these functions? I have telnet/root access to the DS106, but I couldn't find any settings in php.ini or elsewhere, reagrding this issue.

And they answered me:

About the "PHP" issue, please edit /usr/syno/etc/php.ini and set the safe_mode_exec_dir to other dir.
For example, if you want to exec command in /bin, just set it to /bin.
However, we do not take any response in such operation and the warranty will be invalid.

I did so, and it works fine since then. I just put only the reall yneeded executables into the specified directory as defined by the variable safe_mode_exec_dir in php.ini.

Hope this helps you too.

Here is the "how to enable SSH/Telnet" on your diskstation.

Has anyone been able to solve this issue on DS-101?

Does it work in latest firmware version 428?

Yes, it does

I am not that experienced with Linux, although I maintain an application running under Unix at work, so I know the basics. I'm just wondering how one would do as it is stated above.

Can you just copy the relevant needed binaries to another directory and point safe_mode_exec_dir to that directory?
