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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
