title: Cant get php exec to work
body: <p>I've been fighting with this for a few hours now, and I can't seem to work it out.
  tried exec(), shell_exec(), and system(). Nothing works.
  I have this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>exec("/usr/bin/php /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/shell/send.php &gt;&gt; /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/shell/paging.log &amp;");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>send.php simply has:</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo 'works';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But nothing shows up in the log. I've googled and read stuff on here, but I can't find anything to help.</p>
  
  <p>I'm running php v.5.3.8.
  safe mode is on
  I'm pretty sure that is the path to php, but can't really find out how to find it, so I'm going on phpinfo().</p>
  
  <p>exec('whoami'); does nothing. Is it suppose to show in the browser? or email you something?
  any ideas?</p>
