Package: phpbb3
Version: 3.0.7-PL1-4
Severity: normal
When trying to install virtualhost-based multiboards, the /install-XXX
path doesn't work. PHP returns the following error:
===========
PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required
'./../includes/functions.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear')
in /usr/share/phpbb3/install/index.php on line 155
===========
It appears that Apache or PHP is following the symlink when loading the
file, and thus can't trace back up to the parent folder to find the
includes.
My virtualhost config looks like this:
=============
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName board1.example.com
ServerAlias www.board1.example.com
DocumentRoot /usr/share/phpbb3/www
php_value session.save_path "/tmp/php5/board1.example.com"
php_value session.gc_probability 1
php_value auto_prepend_file /etc/phpbb3/board1.example.com.inc.php
</VirtualHost>
=============
And the auto_prepend_file looks like this:
=============
$dbms = 'mysql';
/*
In $dbhost, 'localhost' means local UNIX socket connection rather than TCP/IP
to localhost. If you want the latter, write 127.0.0.1 or the equivalent of
localhost.localdomain
*/
$dbhost = 'database.example.com';
$dbname = 'board1';
$dbuser = 'board1';
$dbpasswd = 'password';
$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';
$acm_type = 'file';
define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
=============
I don't know if there's some setting that could be set in PHP or Apache to make
this work. The only other option I see is to patch the files in install/ so
that they include the www/ path part.
Cheers,
