I have a client that has 2 cpanel servers with me running joomla installations. &nbsp;He needs to execute this command within joomla I believe. &nbsp;One of the servers the command works just fine, the other though, it doesn't even though they're very similar builds.<br />
<br />
$command=&quot;nohup mysql -u &quot;.$user.&quot; -p&quot;.$password.&quot; &quot;.$dbname.&quot; &lt;&nbsp;&quot;.$sqlfile;<br />
passthru($command);<br />
<br />
It's not seeming to work and he did get it sort of work, but he's sitll saying there are problems. &nbsp;He used this command to get past it:<br />
<br />
$command=&quot;/usr/bin/mysql -u &quot;.$user.&quot; -p&quot;.$password.&quot; &quot;.$dbname.&quot; &lt;&nbsp;&quot;.$sqlfile;<br />
$sqlit=passthru($command);<wbr /><br />
<br />
What Changed was:&quot;nohup mysql -u &quot;&nbsp;to &nbsp;&quot;/usr/bin/mysql -u &quot;<br />
<br />
Does anyone know what's going on and why nohup would work on the one server and not on the other.

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

Joomla is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content. It is built on a model–view–controller web application framework that can be used independently of the CMS. Written in PHP, Joomla uses object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques and software design patterns, stores data in a MySQL, MS SQL  or PostgreSQL database, and includes features such as page caching, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, search, and support for language internationalization.

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.
