From: david dot morel at amakuru dot net Operating system: Linux (homebrew) PHP version: 4.3.4 PHP Bug Type: Output Control Bug description: logfile ownership as root on extension loading failure
Description: ------------ When using a logfile to record errors, if the logfile doesn't yet exist, and if an extension cannot be loaded properly, the startup message will be written in this newly created file as the owner of the top webserver process, root. So subsequent tries by child processes to write in this file fail and no error is recorded I guess the same would apply to any load-time source of error. Nice thing would be that the logging facility checks the euid and see if it is different from the one the server is supposed to run his childs with (IMHO). Reproduce code: --------------- 1) set log errors to true in php.ini 2) in extensions, add a bogus filename 3) delete previous error log 4) launch webserver server 5) extension loading failure appears in log, but child processes can't append anything. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26989&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26989&r=float
