call rsync from php script

Hello,

I have a bash script update.sh that contains:
rsync -- delete -avz -e ssh ${files} root[at]64.XXX:/red
when I use that script ./update.sh as root, it works like a charm as I set up the private/public key properly.
When run from a php script through the apache webserver
<?php
exec("update.sh");
?>
The rsync line is ignored.
I
understand that the php script is called under the apache user, when
the private/public key is for my root user. How can I set the the keys
so that the apache user can run fully the php script?

Thank you.

AW: call rsync from php script [In reply to]

Hi Jean-Christophe,

You need to source the ssh-key agent. I suggest you work with a tool
like keychain.

And please configure some sort of protection/authentication
around your update.sh.

Regs,

Christian

add this line in your /etc/sudoers

apache ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/rsync

and change your rsync command to
sudo rsync -- delete -avz -e ssh ${files} root[at]64.XXX:/red
