Well on this box, QNAP TS219, ARM processor, which runs with a stripped version of linux, the apache daemon runs as the httpdusr and is pretty much limited on the rights that it has within the system. As I noticed there is another discussion now on pretty much the same topic, users that have no rights to access the peripherals, unless given specific rights to do so, but on this box is pretty much impossible, from my point of view.
So in order to overcome this obstacle, I added a telnet class, if I can call it this way so I am running the commands through telnet class with admin rights ... at the moment my scanner is not fully supported (I am already in contact with one of the devs who's going to look into this as soon as possible) so I cannot fully test this at the moment. But the errors are gone, so lets hope for the best.
