Re: [PHP] exec 'lynx' failed ??? From: Sonia Tsui (sonia <email protected>)

Hi Rasmus,

I did :
su nobody
strace lynx

I got :
write(2, "metamail: Can\'t open temporary f"..., 37metamail: Can't open
temporary file!

So how do I fix the permission ? I think since it's nobody, so no home
directory for nobody.
thanks
