I'm using php to launch xvfb with flashplayer:

<?php

shell_exec("xvfb-run /home/myuser/flashplayerdebugger /home/myuser/animations/2016-01-30/Animation.swf");

?>

From terminal it successfully executes. But from browser there is no reaction. Other commands work with shell_exec from web. But not xvfb with flashplayer.

Could be a permission issue. When you're running the script in terminal, are you running it as the web server or your user? – mazedlx Jan 31 '16 at 14:33
With my user. But apache2 does give a permission for ffmpeg. Is there difference with xvfb-run? – Alexandra Oshmyanskaya Jan 31 '16 at 16:14
Is shell_exec allowed in php.ini? – mazedlx Jan 31 '16 at 16:27
Of course. shell_exec("ffmpeg ...") allways works fine. – Alexandra Oshmyanskaya Jan 31 '16 at 16:38
what about trying to run the command as apache? su www-data and then run xfvb ... (If www-data is the appropriate user) – mazedlx Jan 31 '16 at 16:48
