What is the errormessage you get? Depending on your log_level err message may not be displayed but stored to the webserver's logfile.

Might be, that either safe mode is disallowing the usage of exec or the function is disbaled in general in your php.ini.

Just another thing, whereever the content of $file_data['dir'], carfully verify it's content for validity.

the error msg is not visible probably of the log level.. but im wonder how exec is working when u add own error pages and in this case is not workin

Normally the default error level is to display all except notices or even including notices in some cases. So if this is not changed it should be either logged to the webserver's logfile or to your display.

Are you talking about the same vhost where exec in custom errorpages is working and when you are trying to run your script? As you can influence / override some default settings on a vhost basis.

Another issue could be that exec is working but the code passed throguh is wrong. So do you see any difference when warpping a var_dump() around the exec part as exec returns the last line of the command's result.

i copy the command for insert custom error pages .. to see is the problem from my script and it wont work again,
for more clear view i put error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
and still no errors
var_dump of source and target is string(46) "/usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/bss/content" string(34) "/var/www/clients/client6/web10/web"
finaly i have to exec cp -r /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/bss/content /var/www/clients/client6/web10/web
when i execute rhis one from shell (as a root) ... its workin ...
when i try to execute trought ispconfig ... no error .. no nothin .. even when im using the same script that puts custom error pages. i have no idea whats happened

apache log:
cp: cannot create directory `/var/www/clients/client6/web10/web/content': Permission denied
chmod: changing permissions of `/var/www/clients/client6/web10/web': Operation not permitted
chmod: cannot read directory `/var/www/clients/client6/web10/web': Permission denied

if i have rights to cp error pages why i dont have rights to cp other?
