Bug #52065 [Com]: Warning about open_basedir restriction while accessing a file as directory

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52065&edit=1 ID: 52065 Comment by: sriccio at swisscenter dot com Reported by: manuel at mausz dot at Summary: Warning about open_basedir restriction while accessing a file as directory Status: Verified Type: Bug Package: Safe Mode/open_basedir Operating System: Unix PHP Version: 5.6.8 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: We're seeing this in all the PHP versions we use (5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2). Literally spent hours trying to understand why we have these warning even that the paths are allowed in the open_basedir directive. Finally it was because the parent dir of a path was in fact a file and not a dir. The warning message is really misleading... It would really be nice to fix this Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-09-02 20:55:47] requinix@php.net Related To: Bug #76836 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-08-03 21:12:43] requinix@php.net Related To: Bug #76701 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-02-28 22:26:06] a19836 at gmail dot com Why isn't this bug fixed yet?
