File(/home/bgshea/g2data/cache/module/core/0/0/0.inc) is not within the allowed path(s): (/\ mnt/sdc1/pub/www/:/usr/local/php-5.0.5/lib/:/mnt/sdc1/home/:/mnt/sdc1/pub/webfiles/) in /mnt/sdc1/home/bgshea/webpage/fopen.php on \ line 12, referer: http://www.hackthebox.org/~bgshea/ NOTE: /home is a symlink to /mnt/sdc1/home This is my first bug report, so if this does not post right, I'm sorry. BTW: I've spent 5 hours trying to fix this, looked at all bugs related to open_basedir and could not figure this out. Reproduce code: --------------- //Test a file open under /home/ works $file=fopen("/home/bgshea/webpage/info.php", "r" ); fclose( $file ); //test a file read under /home/bgshea/g2data, works readfile( "/home/bgshea/g2data/install.log" ); //This should work, but fails. Why? no symlinks here. readfile("/home/bgshea/g2data/cache/module/core/0/0/0.inc"); open_basedir was set in httpd.conf to be /mnt/sdc1/pub/www/:/usr/local/php-5.0.5/lib/:/mnt/sdc1/home/:/mnt/sdc1/pub/webfiles/ Expected result: ---------------- /home/bgshea/g2data/cache/module/core/0/0/0.inc file should be opened Actual result: -------------- Error message reported in log file, php script is terminated ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35301&edit=1
