I need to run iptables commands by using PHP's 'system' function. &nbsp;Currently no errors are returned when I try to do this, but I don't believe the command is being run either. &nbsp;When I run the command on the console as root, it works, when trying to run it from PHP, it doesn't.<br />
<br />
If I run 'whoami' from PHP it returns 'www-data'. &nbsp;I tried to set up sudo so www-data can run iptables, but that's where I got lost...
