Installed ffmpeg but i'm getting a "no such file or directory" error

I have installed ffmpeg and I can run it perfectly find when using the "ffmpeg" from the command line. But I am trying to run ffmpeg from PHP and when I use the bare ffmpeg command, I get "sh: ffmpeg: command not found". So instead of just the bare ffmpeg command, I used the whole folder location /home/vibe/public_html/libraries/ffmpeg/ffmpeg but now I get the "no such file or directory" error.

Anyone know how I can solve this? Much appreciated.

I'd expect that your webserver doesn't have read permission for at least one of the files or directories in that path. The bad, shotgun solution for that would be:

chmod -R 777 /home/vibe/public_html

This would at least allow you to trivially verify that permissions are in fact your problem.

You have to adapt the configuration of your webserver... normally ffmpeg and stuff like that is installed in the same directory, for example /something/bin. So everytime you want to execute something in the shell, the OS will look into the /bin-folder. If ffmpeg is installed somewhere else (obviously it is in your case), you have to add the path to your path-variable, so the OS knows that it has to look there, too. Beside this, you should not install executables in your public_html folder!
