I wrote a Python script which writes its output into a txt file. Then I included that file in my html/php website. - works good so far. Only remaining problem: I can't execute the .py file automatically while opening the site. I know that this isn't the best solution <?PHP exec("python3 Auswertung.py"); ?> doesn't seem to work

  • I tried shell_exec with the same result. I could‘ve written it in php but I was too lazy actually. Yes, I think the permissions were the problem. Commented Apr 30, 2022 at 12:09

I used the commands chown -R www-data:www-data <directory> and chmod -R 755 <directory>. I'm not sure which command solved my problem, but at least its working.
