Error message

Hi,

This error is displayed when the data returned (via AJAX) by the command is empty.
Did you try to select another PHP function for command execution in the “Settings” tab?

Sorry, for my late reply. I was banned from the forum, since I posted links to my page. Didn’t know that and I always posted in conjunction with a support question or review. Anyway, regarding your question: I used any method, which is available. The error message is always the same for the shell command “ls”.

You can try to debug it:

1. Go to the “settings” tab, select “system” for the PHP function and save the settings.

2. Open “wpterm.php” and locate this line:

// Run the command:
list( $res, $ret_var ) = @run_command( $command, trim( $_POST['exec'] ) );

Right below, add this code:

@file_put_contents( '/full/path/to/debug.txt', "-\$res = {$res}\n=========\n-\$ret_var = {$ret_var}\n" );

3. Replace /full/path/to/debug.txt with the full path to the debug log you want to create (it must be writable).

4. Go back to the terminal and enter the uname shell command.

5. Check the debug.txt log and paste its content here.

6. After your test, remove the line you added to the “wpterm.php” file.

Thanks for your support. Here’s the output for the “uname” command:

-$res = SunOS
[-{–}-]

=========
-$ret_var = 0

I can see your problem: your server does not have the $PWD environment variable defined. WPTerm uses it to retrieve the current working directory.
It is possible to use the pwd command instead.

1. Search and remove this line of code:

$command = sprintf( "ABSPATH=%s;cd %s;%s 2>&1;echo [-{-%s-}-]", $abs, $cwd, $cmd, '$PWD' );

2. Replace it with this line:

$command = sprintf( 'ABSPATH=%s;cd %s;%s 2>&1;echo [-{-$(pwd)-}-]', $abs, $cwd, $cmd );

If it works, I’ll make the change to the next update of WPTerm.

Hi,

something changed. The error message is now:

WPTerm: error 2

Sorry, Oliver

debug.txt in this case:

-$res = Array
=========
-$ret_var = 2

I can’t paste the exact command on this forum because it makes use of ‘backticks’; the forum interprets them as markdown elements.
Here it is on pastebin: https://pastebin.com/JY9UZkww
