What was the return from the shell_exec, there will perhaps be problems
with paths (some env vars like home etc...) so try to use absolute paths,
also even when you do this you might encounter internal paths that arent
set properly.
Also does the user your server is running under have rights you need, do
you run SeLinux?
try to use passthru or system so you get access to stout and sterr when
you use php to execute the command
and/or use &2>1 at the end of your command to makes ure you get al the
return.
also make sure your machine will honour DNS lookups, using the hostname
isnt as reliable as IP if you can use IP from the webserver.
