: Sentora database dump works when run from command line, but not from cron The Setup I'm running a webserver with CentOS 7.1 x64, Sentora, and suhosin module preinstalled. I need to trigger

The Setup

I'm running a webserver with CentOS 7.1 x64, Sentora, and suhosin module preinstalled.

I need to trigger a PHP script which does this (among other things)

echo exec('mysqldump -u'.USER.' -p'.PASSWORD.' '.DATABASE.' | gzip > '.$fileName.'.sql.gz');

In order to be able to do that, I have removed the exec from suhosin's blacklist, both via the Sentora admin panel, and by removing exec from the list of blacklisted commands in /etc/sentora/panel/modules/cron/code/controller.ext.php.

As stated on the official site, I've ensured that the owner of both /var/spool/cron and var/spool/cron/apache is apache, and that the permissions are correct (770 and 660, respectively)

The Problem

When I create a new cron job, by using Sentora's Cron Manager, the cron is not doing what it's supposed to (dumping and zipping the database), even though it's triggering the PHP script. I can confirm that the script has no issues, since it does what it's supposed to do when I activate it manually (via browser).

I can also verify that the cron is running - crontab -u apache -l returns:

What am I doing wrong? If it's of any relevance, I'm doing all of this for a subdomain.
