Plesk's command line interface doesn't work with PHP.

[toeh101]

Hi.

I tried to update a client account using client.exe .
It works if I use command prompt directly.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
cd\
cd progra~1\swsoft\plesk\admin\bin
client.exe -u mydomains -company mycompany01
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

But when I use PHP exec() function to create client account, it doesn't work.
I think there are no problem about permission.
I tried PHP exec("md example_dir") , it works, example_dir folder has created.
But when I use it to execute client.exe, it doesn't work.
I know that the command is correct because I've already tried with command prompt directly.

How to solve the problem?
Thanks.

just a note, you seem to get ready kind of integration solution - i'd suggest to use Plesk API rather than calling utilities from PHP scripts.

Hello toeh101,

The Plesk command line tools require administrative privileges to be run.
We recommend you to use Plesk API RPC to manage Plesk accounts.
