#23580 [Opn]: Random values for include_path

ID: 23580 Updated by: zeev@php.net Reported By: maximiliano dot marques at bol dot com dot br Status: Open Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: Conectiva Linux 8 Kernel 2.4.19 PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: I'm trying to reproduce this, but so far without any success. I tried to stress-test PHP with multiple vhosts and see if there are any 'leaks' of include_paths - but after hundreds of thousands of requests, there were none. I'm very interested in what you say about the single-process mode. Basically, what you describe is *not* the behavior PHP is supposed to display. The include_path settings should go back to its original setting at the end of each request. This is also the behavior that I'm seeing in my setup. How did you determine that the include_path setting remains 'cached'? If that is really the case, then it would greatly help if you could provide me with temporary access to your server, so I can debug this. If it's not the case, then it appears we're back in square one...

I was told that it was gonna be fixed in 4.3.2 but it looks like it's still here (we were warned by a disk full error because of the error logged filled with failed includes from an auto_prepend file that belongs to another vhost). We can't upgrade to a snapshot since it is a production server. We are running Gentoo but the same was happening with RedHat 8, running apache 1.3.27. The only fix was to change MaxRequestPerChild to 1... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-25 07:34:48] maximiliano dot marques at bol dot com dot br First answering your questions: >Do you set the include_path for _every_ vhost? Not every but almost. I have 7 vhosts and 5 using different include_path values. >Do you have php.ini and is it loaded? Yes, I do and it was loaded since it appear in phpinfo() briefing. >What is the include_path setting in your php.ini? include_path = "." >How many vhosts do you have in your httpd.conf? 7 and I use dynamic IP for all. 3 of them are using same DocumentRoot but different include_path values. >If you start apache in single server mode, does it still happen for every request? (httpd -X -F -DSSL) Yes, it does. However as in this case there is only one process running, at first request it keep the include_path value forever. I am explaining better below. Second I executed several tests including your recommendations above, adding _“_ around the path and I used netstat and ps to follow httpd child process behavior while I running your suggested script: <?php echo ini_get('include_path'); ?> My conclusion was that the first request that a child process run with include_path given, it cache the value for include_path (no matter if it was set in httpd.conf or .htaccess, I tried with both) and child process never change include_path value anymore while it still alive. I am using ‘MaxRequestsPerChild 1’ as workaround and however it is working, performance is debilitated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-23 20:13:55] sniper@php.net Try adding "'s around the path. (I always have them around the paths, e.g. 'php_value include_path "/www/common/:."') Some questions we need get answers for: Do you set the include_path for _every_ vhost? Do you have php.ini and is it loaded? What is the include_path setting in your php.ini? How many vhosts do you have in your httpd.conf? If you start apache in single server mode, does it still happen for every request? (httpd -X -F -DSSL) Please run all these tests using this script: <?php echo ini_get('include_path'); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-19 02:25:19] maximiliano dot marques at bol dot com dot br Yes I did and it behave exactly the same. And I also compiled without --with-regex=system --enable-inline-optimization and nothing changed. I have set include_path in httpd.conf. The follow code I extracted from my httpd.conf. I am working only with virtual hosts. <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin marques@maximiliano.info DocumentRoot /sites/imax/http ServerName imax.maximiliano.info ServerAlias imax www.imaxmedia.com.br ErrorLog logs/imax-error_log CustomLog logs/imax-access_log common php_value include_path .:/sites/imax/includes:/sites/imax/instance/imx/includes Alias /photo/ "/sites/imax/instance/imx/photo/" Alias /file/ "/sites/imax/instance/imx/file/" Alias /img/ "/sites/imax/instance/imx/img/" Alias /img_dyn/ "/sites/imax/instance/imx/img_dyn/" Alias /style/ "/sites/imax/instance/imx/style/" Alias /https/ "/sites/imax/https/" </VirtualHost> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-17 05:40:57] sniper@php.net And leave these options out: (first do, "rm config.cache") --with-regex=system --enable-inline-optimization ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
