I am running an apache server, which hosts my php pages, on win2k. I am trying to use the system command for some PGP encryption stuff but am getting an "unable to fork" error! For testing I have created the following script:
<?
system("C:\\notepad.exe");
?>
NOTE: I have copied notepad.exe over to the root directory.
I am running PHP 4.0.5.

i use in an application the exec command for several actions...
and once i got an  "unable to fork"-error.
this application is running for several months without errors and in the meantime no changes were made.
i am running an apache on a linux redhat machine with php 4.3.2
