Now i get the error: Warning: Unknown(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/www/web8/typo3_src-3.5.0/typo3/index.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/www/confixx/) in Unknown on line 0 www.domain1.de has the base dir: /home/www/confixx/ www.domain2.de hast the base dir: /home/www/web8/ the funny thing for me is, that i have servers with php 4.2.3 witch i selfcompiled and they work without that problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-18 09:31:41] aw at mittwaldmedien dot de after one hour the same problem comes up. the funny thing is, that we have a second machine with suse 8.1, same apache version and there it works. so i copied the libphp.so from one machine to the other. it doesn't help. Has someone found a working workaround ????? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-18 04:08:21] aw at mittwaldmedien dot de We have the same Problem, like described above. On one of our system the Error comes up sometimes. We deleted the source, untared it again and compiled it the 'different' configure options. Now it works !!!! Is it possible that there some problems with the configure options, when they are not in the korrekt order or something like this. This are the configure Options there it makes sometimes the error: ./configure --prefix=/usr/share --datadir=/usr/share/php --bindir=/usr/bin --libdir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --with-_lib=lib --with-config-file-path=/etc --disable-debug --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --enable-ctype --enable-dbase --enable-discard-path --enable-exif --enable-filepro --enable-force-cgi-redirect --enable-ftp --enable-gd-imgstrttf --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-inline-optimization --enable-magic-quotes --enable-shmop --enable-sigchild --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-trans-sid --enable-versioning --enable-wddx --enable-yp --with-bz2 --with-dom=/usr/include/libxml2 --with-ftp --with-gdbm --with-gettext --with-gmp --with-imap=yes --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-ldap=yes --with-mcal=/usr --with-mcrypt --with-ndbm --with-snmp --with-tiff-dir=/usr --with-xml --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 --with-openssl --with-curl --with-imap-ssl --with-mm --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --enable-discard-path --enable-sockets --enable-track-vars=yes --with-exec-dir=/usr/local/typo3sh/bin --with-gd=/usr/local/typo3sh --with-gettext --with-jpeg-dir --with-mysql=/usr --with-png-dir --with-tiff-dir --with-ttf=/usr/local/typo3sh --with-zlib=yes and this is my 'working version. ./configure --prefix=/usr/share --datadir=/usr/share/php --bindir=/usr/bin --libdir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --with-_lib=lib --with-config-file-path=/etc --disable-debug --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --enable-ctype --enable-dbase --enable-discard-path --enable-exif --enable-filepro --enable-force-cgi-redirect --enable-ftp --enable-gd-imgstrttf --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-inline-optimization --enable-magic-quotes --enable-shmop --enable-sigchild --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-trans-sid --enable-versioning --enable-wddx --enable-yp --with-bz2 --with-dom=/usr/include/libxml2 --with-ftp --with-gdbm --with-gettext --with-gmp --with-imap=yes --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-ldap=yes --with-mcal=/usr --with-mcrypt --with-ndbm --with-qtdom=/usr/lib/qt2 --with-snmp --with-tiff-dir=/usr --with-xml --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 --with-openssl --with-curl --with-imap-ssl --with-mm --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --enable-discard-path --enable-sockets --enable-track-vars=yes --with-exec-dir=/usr/local/typo3sh/bin --with-gd=/usr/local/typo3sh --with-gettext --with-jpeg-dir --with-mysql=/usr --with-png-dir --with-tiff-dir --with-ttf=/usr/local/typo3sh --with-xml --with-zlib=yes maybe it helps to reproduce the problem and finding the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-15 17:10:45] sniper@php.net Patch can be found here: http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/php4/main/main.c?login=2&r1=1.512.2.9&r2=1.512.2.10&ty=u (should apply to 4.3.0 sources too) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-15 17:08:55] sniper@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip I fixed a bug that prevented resetting the open_basedir by using 'php_admin_value open_basedir none'. This most likely fixes this problem for at least some of you who have added comments to this report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
