[asterisk-users] Using PHP to reload extensions

I am trying to use PHP to reload the extensions in an Asterisk installation. I keep getting this error:

Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk.ctl exist?) when I run the script by visiting the URL; however, if I run the script from the command line, it runs just fine (works perfect, actually).

I think it is permissions related. Does anyone have any ideas?

<php
        $output = shell_exec('asterisk -rx"extensions reload"');
        echo $output;
?>

 

Yours,
