I currently have the Java SDK installed on my red hat box with plesk.
I want to be able to access java commands from the web using the
system() command in php to run the commands.

I think its a permissions based problem either in javas setings or in
apache but when i run a java command like "java -version" from command
line it gives a responce but from php on a web server is gives no
response when i run system("java -version"). also note that the same
php file ran from command line outputs correctly. i think the wwwrun
user for apache does not have access to the java commands.

this is a very time sensistive problem so tips could be added on quick response

figured out ASAP

Have you tried executing any other system commands from php?

yes pretty much all commands work from php like "ls" and even "perl"

If you want to test wwwrun's ability to run java, you may want to su
to that user and try to run it.

Have you looked at using the php java extension?
