I want to execute povray from php. But it does not work. No error
There is wrote about execution povray from cgi , but i cant see right
answer.
So i get up this question again.


I leav php and write test script for perl. Problem are the same

This sctipt that i have to test.

###test.pl
###
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
system("/usr/local/bin/povray +O/tmp/monica.tpl.png +I/tmp/monica.pov.tpl
/tmp/mypov.ini 2>&1 ");
print is done

This is ini file
###mypov.ini
######

Width = 800
Height = 600
Bounding_Threshold = 3
Display=off
Verbose=off
Library_Path=/usr/local/share/povray-3.5
Library_Path=/usr/local/share/povray-3.5/include
Library_Path=/home/httpd/cgi-bin/fonts
Library_Path=/mnt/share/000/Development/www/stereogram_web/gallery/depthmaps
Output_to_File=false
Output_File_Type=N8             ;; (+/-Ftype)

###


RESULT  in shell: about 30 sec
povray output ....
is done.

RESULT in cgi: less then 1 sec
is done

QUestuion: it seems to me povray process does not execute. why? What do i
wrong?


NEXT EXPEREMENT
Edit test script  and delete left povray without arguments.It shows povray
information.

#####test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
system("/usr/local/bin/povray  2>&1 ");
print is done

####

RESULT it works well in shell and in cgi
POV-Ray is based on DKBTrace 2.12 by David K. Buck & Aaron A. Collins.

  IIRC there's a bug in unix.cpp which causes POV-Ray to crash when
there's no tty. The fix was simple, but I don't remember what was it
(but you needed to fix unix.cpp and recompile).

  The next version will fix this problem, among other things.

If you read to the end you will notice this most likely isn't the problem as
he gets output.

I would recommend to make sure display is disabled, aka -d on the
command-line is passed as the last thing.
