Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79083&edit=1 ID: 79083 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: calimeroteknik at free dot fr Summary: 7.4.1 does not follow symlinks outside of documentroot while 7.4.0 does -Status: Closed +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: FPM related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 7.4.1 Block user comment: N Private report: N Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-02-27 12:16:06] calimeroteknik at free dot fr Yes indeed, this surprise-behaviour was coming from the systemd unit file. So in the end it's much the same as this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1038170/mysql-select-into-outfile-tmp-no-output ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-02-20 10:04:03] jkal at posteo dot eu is it caused by the systemd service that runs php-fpm? around the time of that version change, the following option was added to the service definition on arch linux: ~~~ # The directories /home, /root and /run/user are made inaccessible and empty for processes # invoked by this unit. ProtectHome=true ~~~ there is a similar option for the /tmp directory "PrivateTmp=true". i experienced the behaviour explained in this bugreport, while my symlink pointed into /home. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-01-27 14:08:54] calimeroteknik at free dot fr From the very beginning I wasn't sure if this was a bug: it might have been intended, although the changelog doesn't mention it. As far as I'm concerned, it's inconvenient to be unable to have symlinks that point outside of the documentroot, and this came specifically from a PHP update. I have no idea how to interpret the "-" for the "%f" field of php-fpm's access.log: at what point did the path become that dash and why? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-01-26 04:22:08] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided.

Adding %f to the log format, here are the results: access.format = "%R - %u %t \"%m %r\" %s \"%f\"" The log: - - 21/Jan/2020:19:06:17 +0100 "GET /phpinfo.php" 200 "/srv/http/phpinfo.php" - - 21/Jan/2020:19:06:29 +0100 "GET /symlink.php" 200 "/srv/http/symlink.php" - - 21/Jan/2020:19:06:23 +0100 "GET /symlink2.php" 404 "-" The webserver does not resolve the symlink, but we get "-" logged for %f. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
