#22101 [Com]: Wrong behaviour of open_basedir restriction

ID: 22101 Comment by: d-e-a-t-h@gmx.net Reported By: cmouse@quakenet.org Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Debian linux 2.4.19 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Hm. It's not only the root-dir (/). It doesn't work in other directories, either. e.g. my customer has a www-dir with hundrets of subdirectories. No Problem in 4.1.2! I had only to 'php_admin_flag open_basedir "/home/customer/www"'. Now with PHP 4.3.0 I have to include each subdir and its subdirs which brings me a lot of work. Sorry for bad engl.

I only use open_basedir / (formerly though, now it's none) in apache configuration, since phpSysInfo needs to access few places outside the normal basedir /www. But *shrug* none seems to work, which it didn't do on the prev. version I had, 4.1.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-13 00:48:50] sniper@php.net There's no point in putting / as basedir, like Rasmus said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-13 00:44:59] cmouse@quakenet.org it seems that you can't use '/' as the open_basedir (as you could do in php 4.1.2). Dunno, maybe it's a good 'sanity' restriction, since the bug with defining 'none' as open_basedir has been fixed. Well... it seems that this was perhaps a bug in the user end ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-09 14:20:51] d-e-a-t-h@gmx.net I have the same Problem under RedHat 7.1 with PSA (Plesk Server Administrator) 5.x. It seems that PHP 4.3.0 doesn't set the Open_Basedir recursively to Subdirectories. This is really mean because I have to include each Subdirectory which I would have out of the SaveMode, in my httpd.conf. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-06 20:27:37] rasmus@php.net I wouldn't be surprised if an open_basedir set to / wasn't handled correctly. It is one of these non-sensical settings that I suppose we should account for, but it really is meaningless. All you are doing is burning more system calls with absolutely no benefit since everything is under / ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
