Hi,
I hope someone can help me.
I am not sure if this is a cPanel issue or a CentOs issue, it depends on which is responsible for the permission to run FFMPEG as a user.
When I run the following command as root:
the avi video converts effortlessly to mp4 with no issues.
If I try that same code within the jailed shell of the cpanel account, the conversion fails and a 0 Byte mp4 is created.
This leads me to believe that something is blocking the user to access /usr/bin or something but maybe not because the ffmpeg command can be issued.
I am getting very frustrated with this entire issue because I have been trying for over 3 weeks now to get it to work.
I won't bore anyone with further details unless I am told I can be helped here.
If I can't get help I will be forced to change to ubuntu 20.4 with plesk installed, because everything works there.
Hopefully someone knows what the issue is.
Thanks in advance!
Bob
