In my project I have a Server.js file which includes node.js libraries. So when I execute it from terminal it is executing but not from my index.php file.Tuhin Biswas– Tuhin Biswas2015-07-18 11:48:56 +00:00Commented Jul 18, 2015 at 11:48

how do you see it doesn't ? have you error logs ? saying it couldn't execute ? have you logs before that line to be sure the code goes up there ?Random– Random2015-07-18 11:51:09 +00:00Commented Jul 18, 2015 at 11:51

2 things : 1: you got a space in your exec. 2: you should have something in your php_error if you reach that line but doesn't exec it...Random– Random2015-07-18 12:03:22 +00:00Commented Jul 18, 2015 at 12:03

I was able to execute the file. First get full path to node. Run in terminal < which node > then add web path of your js file in exec function.
Check here Calling node.js script from PHP returns nothing
exec('/usr/local/bin/node '.WEB_PATH.'/Server.js');
