[Pdns-users] Error Running pdnssec from PHP

[Nick Williams]

Nevermind, my bad. It's not enough for the user to have read permissions on the /etc/pdns directory and /etc/pdns/pdns.conf file. The user also must have execute permissions on the /etc/pdns directory. When I added that, it worked.

Thanks!

I'm enabling DNSSEC, so I decided to update my PHP GUI to run the necessary pdnssec commands (secure-zone, set-nsec3, rectify-zone) when applicable. However, when I use PHP's exec() to call pdnssec, I get the following error:
