#7 Documentation: exec(): Unable to fork

[Dale Mullins]

Running Windows 2003 Server + PHP 4.3.4, I would get
this error whenever an external command was executed
(isql, fb_lock_print, etc):

exec(): Unable to fork

After searching Google Groups, the fix I used was to give
the web server user on Windows
(IUSR_<computername>) read & execute permissions on
cmd.exe (located in %system32% folder).

Obviously, this could be a security issues in your
situation, so use at your own risk.

You may want to include this information in the README,
configuration.inc, and/or the beginners guide by Lester

Hi Dale, thanks for pointing this out.

I'm just working on documentation with respect to
ibWebAdmin 1.0 and this will make it to the faq section.
