sh dev/null Permission denied apache

  • 772

I am using Mac osx Mountain Lion for development.

I am trying to execute a shell command in php using the 'exec' function. At the end of my command I am putting the output to > /dev/null 2>dev/null &.

However it does not work and the error in /var/log/apache2/error_log is:

sh: dev/null: Permission denied

How can I get this to work without throwing this error?

apache-2.2

    you seem to have missed the leading /. is it possible you entered dev/null instead of /dev/null?
