ID: 19354 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: tamas@mile.hu -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: Linux Slackware 8 PHP Version: 4.2.3, 4.3.0-dev New Comment: Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-16 15:53:03] tamas@mile.hu After a little localization i've found the message is coming from this section: ret = VCWD_UTIME(Z_STRVAL_PP(filename), newtime); if (ret == -1) { php_error(E_WARNING, "utime failed (debug 1): %s", strerror(errno)$ RETURN_FALSE; } RETURN_TRUE; So the bug is in the VCWD_UTIME(Z_STRVAL_PP(filename), newtime); function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-16 15:40:36] tamas@mile.hu Warning: utime failed: Operation not permitted in /home/www.akcio7.hu/botmenu.php on line 117 " It hasn't changed the problem in the 4.2.3 the message is same "Warning: utime failed: Operation not permitted in x.php on line 6 " In one thing you are right I switched off the safe_mode for a minute and the error is the same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-13 12:50:07] sesser@php.net I am quite sure that this bug has nothing todo with SAFE_MODE. Could you please search for newtime->modtime = newtime->actime = time(NULL); in ext/standard/filestat.c (must be withing touch() function) and then comment this line out and recompile... It it very likely that this line causes your utime problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-13 12:20:04] sniper@php.net Updated version information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-13 04:41:43] tamas@mile.hu Dear Sniper I think if you have rwxrwxrwx rights on a file and the directory you can read and write and modify that. Basicly in safe_mode you can read and write files of which owner is equal of the php page. In this case it means you can read and write files which are owned by the "akcio" user who is the owner of the x.php and I have to give for example a chmod 777 because the apache running as nobody. So it's really a bug which wasn't in the previous versions (up to and including 4.1.2) (Yes, I meant 'chmod' instead of 'chown', sorry the local time was about 2 a.m.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
