[users@httpd] Using Apache for UI Automation
Hi,
I'm trying to set up apache on Windows to allow me to run UI
automation tools on that box via a web front-end. For some reason,
when call my program which automates the UI, it fails due to not being
able to access any of the UI elements.
I can't find any documentation on how to set apache up to allow this,
so does anyone know?
Thanks in advance!
Jon

It seems as though the issue might not be what I thought. It looks as
though if I fork a process that does the GUI automation, nothing will
be brought up to the screen. As a side note, I have cygwin installed
on my machine, so I can use bash scripts (most of the scripts were
migrated from a linux box). Here's a simple php file that shows my
issue:
<p>This page was created at <b>
<?php echo date("h:i:s a", time()); ?>
</b> on the computer running PHP.</p>
<p>
This test does not work...For some reason forking doesn't work!
<?php
exec("bash -c \"notepad.exe & \"");
?>
</p>
if I were to change the exec to:
exec("start notepad.exe");
it works. Which I find extremely strange. Is there anyone who might
know why cygwin forking does not work with apache?

Not sure if this helps, but when we were having directory issues on the lan
we had to run the apache service as a specific user that had rights to those
areas.
