Re: [PHP] Migration from php4 to php 5 open_basedir directive.
The files in question are 'within' the open_basedir directive.
To explain further/better
within virtualhost,
php_admin_value open_basedir /www/htdocs/midwifefinder.com/site
and...
/www/htdocs/midwifefinder.com/site/index.php contains
===
require_once("includes/app.php");
which is /www/htdocs/midwifefinder.com/site/includes/app.php and this
file contains
===
but I have tried this with simple file names and a simpler structure,
the contents of add.php is
parsed, and the contents of config/_config.php is never parsed.
why not just add the necessary directories to the open_basedir setting
(I'm guessing it can take multiple dirs because the error says
'allowed path(s)')?
e.g.:
/usr/local/pkg/php/php-5.0.2//lib/php/config/_config.inc.php

I get an error,

the way I read it your config only allows you to open files inside of:
/www/htdocs/midwifefinder.com/site
looks to me like php5 is doing what its supposed to, maybe php4
was actually broken which allowed the require to work when it
wasn't supposed to.

The code and paths are unchanged, works on php4, not on php5, apache
version unchanged. (1.3.x). I have tried various php.ini files, of
course turning open_basedir off will make the error go away. The file
being called is clearly within the scope of the open_basedir
restriction, and thus it works just fine in php4.
/usr/local/pkg/php/php-5.0.2//lib/php/config/_config.inc.php is not the
correct path to the file, I guess because it doesn't find the file in
the . (dot) part of the include path, then it blows up when it tries to
find the file in (what is basically) /usr/local/lib/php.
This kind of sounds like a TRANSPATH related problem, and its certainly
a path problem (where is dot), but as I read the docs, TRANSPATH is
something that changed for apache 2.
Any advice would be appreciated.
