Topic: plugedin module not able to execute system()

[ashwani_ap]

Hi,

I have successfully plugged in a module into my apache web server.

In the module code I want to execute this:

if (!CreateProcess(NULL, TEXT("F:\\Apache21\\bin\\httpd.exe"),
NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi)) {}

NOTE: this httpd.exe is diff running at diff port.

But it is not executing successfully. It gives access violation error pointing to &pi.

Can sombody tell what is the problem.

Is that a PHP or perl script? Which "module" did you load? An own one?

Hi,

This module is written in C for doing some specfic task.

Have you defined si and pi correctly?
Like this:

Hi,
I have done all this. below is the code snippet. but still I am facing same problem

STARTUPINFO si;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;

ZeroMemory(&si, sizeof(si));
si.cb = sizeof(si);
ZeroMemory(&pi, sizeof(pi));
CreateProcess(NULL, TEXT("F:\\Apache21\\bin\\httpd.exe"), NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi);

WaitForSingleObject( pi.hProcess, INFINITE );

// Close process and thread handles.
CloseHandle( pi.hProcess );
CloseHandle( pi.hThread );

Still same problem.
