Bug #14401 Updated: Wrong include_path from Apache <Directory> config

ID: 14401 Updated by: vogel@folz.de Reported By: vogel@folz.de Status: Open Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Operating System: Linux i386 PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: Status update: o The problem persists with php-4.1.1. o The problem is _not_ a concurrency, but more like a caching problem: It does happen even with only one current user of this server, but only if this user requests files from different subdirectories. o This is the only virtual host where we use varying include_paths and we really need auto_prepend_file there, so I cannot say if it happens without auto_prepend_file. (I haven't had the time to set up a new virtual host for testing this.) o From Feb. 01, 2002 until yesterday (Feb. 18), and with php-4.1.1 installed at the end of Jan. 2002, it happens in about 25 % of the requests of files where the auto_prepend_file feature is active. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-16 10:59:08] vogel@folz.de Having looked somewhat deeper into this issue I want to add that the include path problem seems limited to include files that get loaded via the auto_prepend_file directive. Explicit "include" or "require" statements seem to work as they should. But please take this with a grain of salt, because this may be a result of the fact that files with auto_prepend_file-loaded headers have far more hits than those with explicit "include"s. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-10 08:51:33] vogel@folz.de We have a virtual host here where the include_path varies per directory. We configure this in the Apache config (php as a DSO module) like this: <Directory /var/www/html/dir1> php_value include_path ".:/var/www/html/dir1/lib" </Directory> <Directory /var/www/html/dir2> php_value include_path ".:/var/www/html/dir2/lib" </Directory> (and many more) We have tried this with many versions of Apache 1.3.x and php-4.0.x (up to apache-1.3.22 / php-4.1.0RC3) and all combinations exhibit the same problem: If there are two or more concurrent users that access different directories of this virtual host, one or more of them get pages with php errors, because the php scripts don't get the include files they need. The error messages show clearly that the include files were searched via a wrong include_path, i.e. one out of the other <Directory ..> sections of the same virtual host. We used both standard Redhat 7.x apache and php RPMs, as well as self-compiled RPMs based on Redhat's SRPMs, all with the same result/problem. If you need more specific information, please ask. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14401&edit=1
