PHP exec in background

So, in one of my projects/products/services, I need to execute ffmpeg via PHP…
Usually I use at do send the job to a queue list.. unfortunately in two different clients’ servers somehow PHP + exec and at doesn’t work well….

This is how we send a PHP exec to background

exec(command > /dev/null 2>/dev/null &);

 

As seen on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8961470/how-to-make-shell-exec-run-in-background-while-php-continues

nginx – allow only one IP to access the domain/subdomain

Restricting Access

Access can be allowed or denied by the IP address of a client or by using the HTTP basic authentication.To allow or deny access from a certain set of addresses, or all addresses, use the allow and deny directives:

location / {
    allow 192.168.1.1/24;
    allow 127.0.0.1;
    deny 192.168.1.2;
    deny all;
}
