I tried again with a simple script test.php '<? echo "Ciao" ?>'

realpath_cache_size=1024k

realpath_cache_ttl=600



I have always same behavior (also second and following times I try to
call curl http://damorealt.xoom.it/test.php:

phpinfo() is a special case.  Try it with a simple hello world script.

The real problem is that such full scan are repeated more then once:



25933 lstat("/usr", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

25933 lstat("/usr/local", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) =
0

25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096,
...}) = 0

25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755,
st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs",
{st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs/phpinfo.php",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=16, ...}) = 0



First check



25933 lstat("/usr", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

25933 lstat("/usr/local", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) =
0

25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096,
...}) = 0

25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755,
st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs",
{st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs/phpinfo.php",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=16, ...}) = 0



Second check



25933 lstat("/usr", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

25933 lstat("/usr/local", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) =
0

25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096,
...}) = 0

25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755,
st_size=4096, ...}) = 0



Third check (incomplete)



25933 lstat("/usr", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

25933 lstat("/usr/local", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) =
0

25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096,
...}) = 0

25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755,
st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs",
{st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs/phpinfo.php",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=16, ...}) = 0



Final check and then read the file.



25933 open("/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs/phpinfo.php", O_RDONLY)
= 16

25933 fstat(16, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=16, ...}) = 0

25933 read(16, "<? phpinfo() ?>\n", 8192) = 16

25933 read(16, "", 8192)                = 0

25933 read(16, "", 8192)                = 0

25933 close(16)                         = 0

The scan of each element of the paths happen anyway, whether the paths
contain symlinks or not. Check the code TSRM/ for a deeper explanation.

@pajoye; as is described in "Actual result" part of this bug, first time
PHP engine check filepath there is a full scan of all directories at
least 4 

times before cache the result, this behavior anyway cannot scale in a so
large environment.



@rasmus: this is very interesting, I can consider upgrade to 5.3 in
order to avoid this behavior.



I know this is an extrema ratio: may I disable symlinks support from PHP
engine in order to avoid this behavior?



Is there an answer regarding the increase of realpath_cache_size
realpath_cache_ttl?
