Bug #61415 [Opn]: zend_alter_ini_entry failuers

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61415&edit=1 ID: 61415 Updated by: cataphract@php.net Reported by: info at simonecaruso dot com Summary: zend_alter_ini_entry failuers Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Safe Mode/open_basedir Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.10 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The fact it worked in 5.2 doesn't imply your code had no bug. It may mean that a bug has always existed, but by luck it wasn't triggered by 5.2. Of course, if you could identify the specific commit that triggers the problem, it could shed light on this problem. If you can automate the tests, you can easily run something a bisection procedure to find such commit. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-16 23:27:31] info at simonecaruso dot com I don't think it's a my module problem because with 5.2 i dont have this problem (i did the sames tests for 5.3, same apache, same config), i moved to 5.3 from less than one month. I don't think it's a concurrency related issue too, the failure are too much rare i think. I did a diff between 5.2 and 5.3 and saw there are major changes to fopen_wrapper.c, and i have this problem only for open_basedir, that's why i opened the bug. I'll try with other stages in the hope this can help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-16 21:41:22] cataphract@php.net I assume you're using the prefork SAPI, as the stack trace shows you're not using ZTS. In that case, I find strange your claim this is a concurrency issue. More likely, the problem would be in your module and I don't know anything about Apache modules lifecycle to even guess where the problem could be. You could try passing another value for stage as the ini update handler for open_basedir can never fail for stages PHP_INI_STAGE_STARTUP, PHP_INI_STAGE_SHUTDOWN, PHP_INI_STAGE_ACTIVATE,PHP_INI_STAGE_DEACTIVATE, but this would most likely just mask the underlying problem. You can also try running Apache under valgrind with --trace-children and see if you get something. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-16 18:07:23] info at simonecaruso dot com It breaks always at zend_ini.c:300 The data i pass is always correct, but sometimes i get a FAILURE.

For now, I can add this: we have this problem since migrated from 5.2.6 to 5.3.10. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-16 14:25:35] cataphract@php.net zend_alter_ini_entry_ex has several failure paths. It would be helpful to know which one is being triggered. Can you investigate this? You can try first by starting apache under gdb with the -X option. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
