Hi folks Smile

I have a problem, here's the story if you ever can help me
I'll be happy.

Well, My poor FTP connexion doesn't allow me to upload all the 303 files of wordpress, so I uploaded the whole archive at once and written a script to
uncompress it in the server side. Here's how it goes:

script uncompress.php
----------------------------

Code:
<?php
$output = shell_exec('tar -zxvf wordpress.tar.gz');
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
echo "end";
?>


When I execute it, it shows me all the content of the wordpress.tar.gz
archive but it doesn't actually decompress in the current directory (my public_html)

Can anybody please tell me what's going wrong?

I badly need it to work Smile

Thanks Smile

What directory does it put the files in? mabye you can change the script to put the files in the public_html directory.

Normally It should put them in the current directory.

Because when I run these commands in linux it does it in the currect directory.
The problem is that it just shows me the files, it lists them withour really
copying them Sad

Thanks again and have a nice day
