lolallero Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 hello i've a compiled web application and the compiler gave me also a cgi/perl script to run it. The problem is that when running the script the application start loading but then "goes offline" according to the UI. is there any timer who kills the exe? or the cgi is killed along with child process?i tried to write a php script to do the work but i got exec() is disabled for security reasons... Can you help me? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 If the script takes too long to execute it will automatically time out. For php scripts I believe it's 30 seconds and I would think cgi/perl scripts would be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolallero Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 i still can't understand if the timer kills the script, the exe or both... and is there any solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 There's nothing that can be done about the execution time. If it's possible you might try to break up your script in to two or more scripts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolallero Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 I think that the app is killed since it is a child of the script. am i right? Is there a way to run it without timeouts? Is a CRON job feasible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xaav Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Sure, you could run it via a cron job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolallero Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 And it wouldn't get killed. If it is so i'll give it a try. can the application listen on a port like 6632 ? Then i would acces the site by appending ":6632" to the domain name. if i put the application executable(called 'nsite') in /home/username then in cron command i would write "/home/username/nsite" ?
