I'm setting up a server running on windows 10 with WampServer64. It provides buttons on a web page to takes screenshots of the server screen and others actions with pyscreenshots and pyautogui (as shown below).
My python scripts works great in local with cmd but when I run them from the website they stop when the script encounter a pyscreenshot method or a pyautogui method like pyscreenshot.grab() I searched for problems between WampServer and python but I only saw things about CGI which is not my problem. I tried it anyway but it doesn't worked
Here is the logical scheme of my code :
<input type="button" value="Get Screenshot" onclick="GetScreenshot()" />
function GetScreenshot(){
$.ajax({
url:"handle_screenshots.php",
type: "POST",
data:{action:'start_screenshots'},
success: function(result) {
alert(result);
}
});
};
if ($_POST['action'] == 'start_screenshots') {
$path = $_SESSION['path'];
$duration = 1000;
pclose(popen("start /B cmd /C py C:\\wamp64\\www\\RTS_WebApp\\python\\screenshot.py $duration \"$path\" >NUL 2>NUL", 'r'));
echo "Screenshots started";
}
import pyscreenshot, datetime, time, sys, re, os
if __name__ == '__main__':
duration = sys.argv[1]
if ':' in duration:
wordList = re.sub("[^\w]", " ", duration).split()
if (len(wordList) == 3) :
duration = int(wordList[0]) * 3600 + int(wordList[1]) * 60 + int(wordList[2])
else:
duration = int(duration)
i = 1
left = 140
top = 70
right = 900
bottom = 550
start_time = time.time()
while duration > (time.time() - start_time):
name = "img_{}.png".format(i)
img = pyscreenshot.grab()
img = img.crop((left, top, right, bottom))
img = img.resize((img.size[0], img.size[1]))
img.save("C:\\wamp64\\www\\RTS_WebApp\\static\\img\\current.png")
i += 1
EDIT : I just tried with XAMPP and it does work, so I guess there is a problem between python and WAMP
