Also, are you using SELinux by any chance? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-28 11:46:56] nsp at h4h dot pl Description: ------------ test is simple: print_r(glob("/var/www/*")); Always returns empty array. ____________________________ Yes, I know this is strange, yes I have search whole web and no solution yet. Problem is probably related to OS, because other server (also linux lenny) work OK on the same apache2 and same php5 module. I have made simple command line test: sudo -u www-data php5 -c /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini -r 'print_r(glob("/var/www/*"));' And this is working OK. My apache2 has no strange modules, this is normal web server. My system: php5: 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny9 kernel: 2.6.8-2-386 libc6: 2.7-18lenny6 apache: apache2 2.2.9-10+lenny8 No special file system security on OS, /var/www is 777, default apache2 security settings. This problem is VERY rare, but Im not the only one: same problem here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-826894-start-0.html Any suggestions? PLEASE HELP! Test script: --------------- print_r(glob("/var/www/*")); Expected result: ---------------- glob() should return array of files Actual result: -------------- empty array, no errors ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53190&edit=1
