#24282 [Com]: Strange Open Base Dir Restriction Errors
ID: 24282 Comment by: siminka at gmx dot de Reported By: matzrek at shw-networks dot de Status: Open Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: Suse Linux 8.2 / Apache 1.3.27 PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: Same thing here with auto_prepend_file (Apache 2.0.47, PHP 4.3.3) - default httpd.conf and php-ini.dist. Two vhosts - VirtualHost *:80 ServerName domain1.tld DocumentRoot /var/www/domain1.tld php_value auto_prepend_file global.php /VirtualHost VirtualHost *:80 ServerName domain2.tld DocumentRoot /var/www/domain2.tld /VirtualHost ...one with auto_prepend_file, one without. Sometimes the auto_prepend_file of domain1.tld is prepended for the vhost of domain2.tld. When adding 'php_value auto_prepend_file none' to the domain2.tld vhost, the problem is gone. Really annoying bug! Previous Comments: [2003-08-26 00:43:14] red at raven dot ch seems to be the same or similar thing: bug #25198 I realised the same issue as dprado at floripa dot com dot br mentioned...

[2003-08-15 09:52:48] dprado at floripa dot com dot br Samething happens here. PHP 4.3.2, the bug only shows randomly when accessing virtualhosts that DO NOT have open_basedir set on a machine that has other vhosts with open_basedir set. Taking a wild guess, it seems that an apache thread that server up a page for a vhost with openbasedir set when it tries to serve a page for another vhost whithout openbasedir it keeps the openbasedir settings. Setting open_basedir for all vhosts solved the problem.

What is open_basedir set to in your php.ini? What exactly is the open_basedir line like in your httpd.conf for the vhost you get this everytime for the first page request? Do you set any other php ini options there? Do any .htaccess files set any php ini options? The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
