Question

I want to convert a video to flv format. I am using ffmpeg to convert the video. I am using following code.

exec("C:/wamp/www/newtip/ffmpeg/ffmpeg -i C:/wamp/www/newtip/ffmpeg/videos/".$name." -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 C:/wamp/www/newtip/ffmpeg/players/".$name_s.".flv");

It is working correctly in the local system. But in the server it is not working correctly.

In the server i changed the code as below

exec("http://www.mydomain.com/newtip/ffmpeg/ffmpeg -i http://www.mydomain.com/newtip/ffmpeg/videos/".$name." -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 http://www.mydomain.com/newtip/ffmpeg/players/".$name_s.".flv");

In local I have given the Source path as C:/wamp/www/newtip/ But in server i have given the path as http://www.mydomain.com/newtip/ .I think in the server the path is wrong. Can anybody tell me how to give the path in the server?

Try to specify the correct directory and also specify the document root with:

$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "your required folder path here";

Make sure that:

• Folder has required permissions set, chmod to 755
• exec is not disabled.
