Re: Failed to execute pg_dump

Hi.

The problem can be caused by:

1) SELinux: may be you need set the options httpd_execmem or
httpd_can_network_connect_db. You can disable SELinux temporay with
setenfoce 0.

3) Review the option disable_functions on PHP: make sure that exec
family in not disabled.

Best regards.
