PHP, Sendmail problem, Please help!

[DeatD]

I have this problem with my php/sendmail. I try to use mail()-function, but nothing happens.

In /var/log/maillog there is errormessage:

sendmail[2999]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(apache): /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 0: cannot open: Permission denied

any help? I'm pretty sure that the problem is in file premissions, but what file?

 

[ericbrunson]

maybe /etc/mail/sendmail.cf? Is the sendmail executable suid root?

 

[DeatD]

the sendmail.cf looks like this:

421071 -rwxr-xrwx 1 root root 57621 Jan 17 20:23 sendmail.cf

Can you send mail by calling the sendmail binary directly?

 

[DeatD]

Yes i can, but not with php

 

[ericbrunson]

Very strange. I don't know the answer.

 

[skiflyer]

Can you run the sendmail binary directly when you're logged in as the user that PHP is running as?

If you're not sure who PHP is running as you can make a quick script

<?php
$result = `whoami`; //those are backticks not single quotes
echo $result
?>

Php is working and i can't login as apache because its nologin. But problem is now solved, i did full reinstall of linux.
