ID: 19292 Comment by: bin@entertainz.co.nz Reported By: tnowak@triger.com.pl Status: Critical Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.3.0-dev,4.2.3 New Comment: Experiencing the same issue with 4.2.3 on Linux with Apache 1.3.26 and Ben-SSL 1.48. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-12 08:51:30] dookfx@firemail.de i habve the same problems also with 4.30.pre1! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-12 02:24:17] sniper@php.net update version info. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-11 23:48:57] hank@marinar.com I notice the same problem with an earlier version (4.1.2-5) on a Debian 3.0 system running Apache 1.3.26. Hope that provides aid in tracking this down. The script used to reproduce this is simply phpinfo(); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-11 13:15:49] joerg@php.net I can confirm the message from ck@php.net. Same problem here on several linux boxes that servers a nummer of virtual host. On some vhosts we have these error on every 2nd hit. There is a chance that these kind of error not effected is to the first vhost. I have made a test with the latest 'php4-200210100000' with shows the same behavior. Realy weird is that the unkown error messages shows the WRONG settings (open_basedir) for that vhosts. Screenshot: http://sgi.takenet.de/~beh/error.gif They are 2 other things out there that apps that using pear(cache) shows open_basedir restrictions too. But the pear directory is always allowed. The make install prozess from the php latest and php-4.3rc1 shows both tng-web:/usr/src/php-4.3.0pre1 # make install Installing PHP SAPI module [activating module `php4' in /usr/apache/conf/httpd.conf] cp libs/libphp4.so /usr/apache/libexec/libphp4.so chmod 755 /usr/apache/libexec/libphp4.so cp /usr/apache/conf/httpd.conf /usr/apache/conf/httpd.conf.bak cp /usr/apache/conf/httpd.conf.new /usr/apache/conf/httpd.conf rm /usr/apache/conf/httpd.conf.new Installing shared extensions: /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ Installing PHP CLI binary: /usr/bin/ Installing PEAR environment: /usr/lib/php/ Warning: file_exists() [http://www.php.net/function.file-exists]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 500 is not allowed to access /root owned by uid 0 in /daten/src/php-4.3.0pre1/pear/PEAR/Config.php on line 282 a lot of more warnings. Screenshot: http://sgi.takenet.de/~beh/error2.gif We are not using any kind of caching software or other 3rd party modules. And yes.. switching back to 4.2.1 solves all the problems without making any changes on configfiles (php.ini , httpd.conf) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-10 08:43:37] sniper@php.net Keep this at 'Critical' status. (ck@php.net: Can you be a bit more specific? And did you test with PHP 4.3.0-dev there?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
