hi, im trying to run a php file via a post to the endpoint

 

POST https://<server>/plugins/controlr/include/Api.php

 

Api.php is very simple

<?php
require_once($docroot."/webGui/include/Helpers.php");
shell_exec("/usr/bin/logger working -t testing");
?>

 

but this never gets logged

i've  `chmod +x Api.php`

yet, im receiving a 500 seemingly from nginx

i know i can access the /plugins path, since i do that for the unassigned devices plugin (which works normally, i receive a 200 on its endpoint)

 

i haven't properly installed the plugin from a tgz, i just copy Api.php to the folder

 

any thoughts on what i could check ?

 

p.s.: im also authenticating properly and sending the csrf_token

for some reason

require_once($docroot."/webGui/include/Helpers.php");

doesn't work for me

had to do

require_once("/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/include/Helpers.php");

not very robust, but not sure why it wouldn't work otherwise 🤷‍♂️
