RE: Failed to execute pg_dump

Apologies to Carlos for replying directly to him instead of to the list.

Both php.ini files on my system have
disable_functions =

I set the permissions to 0x777 on pg_dump but that has not made any difference.

I also set sudo to permissive, which also does not seem to have helped.

Unless I'm missing something, I think that covers all the suggestions from Carlos, Scott and Nick (who's message
doesn'tseem to be included below for some reason). Thanks for your suggestions, I'm learning things anyway :)

Hi.

The problem can be caused by:

1) SELinux: may be you need set the options httpd_execmem or httpd_can_network_connect_db. You can disable SELinux
temporaywith setenfoce 0. 

3) Review the option disable_functions on PHP: make sure that exec family in not disabled.

Best regards.
