Summary: PHP lstat problem
Status: Bogus
Type: Bug
Package: Safe Mode/open_basedir
Operating System: Linux
PHP Version: 5.2.13
New Comment:
That's why the setting realpath_cache_size and TTL exist. They allow you
to fine tune this cache to fit your needs. On a shared host you will
certainly increase the default value.

Thanks for your explanation, I followed your suggestions and there is a
performance improvement in submitted case.
Anyway your suggestions are not applicable in all cases.
Please consider this problem from my point of view: in a production
environment of a big web hosting provider.
In this real case there are many thousands of users that can freely
write their own PHP code, there also are hundreds of thousands of pages
that cannot be cached.
Please consider also that what happens when Google spiders come to crawl
all pages.

There is a realpath cache that gets populated, so you need to warm up
the cache
and not strace the first request. You shouldn't care that the first
request to
the server takes a few more stats. The real test is whether subsequent
requests
are slow. If you are seeing excessive stats with the caches warmed up,
then you
need to investigate the size of your realpath cache in your php.ini and
possibly
increase it. This part has been made more efficient in PHP 5.3.
It would also be a good idea to turn off AllowOverride in your Apache
config to
get rid of the .htaccess stats if you are concerned about the number of
stat
calls.
So, do this.
Start Apache in non-forking mode by running it with -X
Then hit a simple hello_world.php script a few times. Don't use phpinfo
because
it does a number of evil things on its own. After hitting your hello
world
script a couple of times, attach strace to the Apache process (strace -p
<pid>)
and then hit the server again once. At this point you should not see
any extra
stats.

Description:
------------
PHP lstat full pathname many times (at least 4) before read the file is
looking for.
This behavior appear when in apache httpd configuration is specified
PHP_ADMIN_VALUE open_basedir or safe_mode is On.
Test script:
---------------
To reproduce the problem please create a page phpinfo.php: "<? phpinfo()
?>".
I have httpd.2.2.15, PHP 5.2.13.

Now we specify PHP_ADMIN_VALUE open_basedir</strong> in Virtual host
configuration:
<Directory "/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs">
PHP_ADMIN_VALUE open_basedir
"/usr/local/myspace/webspace"
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName damorealt.xoom.it
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs"
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/damorealt/access_log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/damorealt/error_log
</VirtualHost >
Stop & start apache httpd, "strace -f" all httpd instances and then call
page http://damorealt.xoom.it/phpinfo.php, so we can reproduce behavior
Expected result:
