 Status:           Critical
 Bug Type:         Apache related
 Operating System: linux
 PHP Version:      4.2.3,4.3.0
 New Comment:

Same problem with php 4.3.0 / apache 1.3.27 / Slackware
The problem seems to appear when a virtual host has a open_basedir
defined, but not in other virtualhost. In this case others virtual
hosts take the value of one of defined  open_basedir. (maybe the value
come from another http child open in same time)

Seems to have same behaviour with auto_append.

Hope it will help to solve this bug.

Fred

I have 2 FreeBSD servers with the same problem. Both have /www as
symlink. Real path is /home/www.
I also have a Windows machine, with no symlink ;-) - no problem there.
/www is c:/www there, and all works.
All machines have same httpd.conf, same Apache, same 4.2.3

4.3.o stills has the same problem, the test suite I posted on 30 Oct
2002 12:56am fails with this messages:

Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(/usr/local/lib/php/hello.php) is not within the allowed path(s):
(/usr/local/http-docs/common/scripts/) in
/usr/local/http-docs/common/lib/test/test.php on line 5

Warning: main(hello.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: Not
owner in /usr/local/http-docs/common/lib/test/test.php on line 5

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required

in /usr/local/http-docs/common/lib/test/test.php on
line 5

where test.php tries to include hello.php which is in
/usr/local/http-docs/common/lib/test that is a path that's
included in include_path

Is somebody working on this critical bug in php 4.3.0??

Bug was opened 8 sep and now it isn't even the same year...

This is a severe problem for all hosting companies since they have to
turn of open_basedir to get things going without errors.

I have just tried to EXPLICITLY set "php_admin_flag safe_mode off" to
ALL virtual hosts, which should not be restricted with safe mode and it
seems to help. So the problem is here only when I rely on the default
setting in php.ini file (where I have safe mode off by default) and
when there is AT LEAST one virtual host with safe_mode enabled.
