I have been running PHP with open_basedir for quite some time. I upgraded to php 5.3.0 recently, previously having ran php 5.2.5. Immediately after installing the newly compiled version, the issues began. The problem as I experience it, is that the "open_basedir" setting seems to be composed of random, non latin1 characters (displayed as symbols by the browser). I cannot draw any reasons as to which users are affected by this or why, but it does not happen to everyone - it is seemingly random. I am using CentOS 5.3 with the latest cPanel 11 on CURRENT which manages the open_basedir. I am using Apache 2.2.6. My compile string is as follows; './configure' '--prefix=/usr/local' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-libxml' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-soap' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-zip' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl=/opt/curlssl/' '--with-curlwrappers' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-gd' '--with-gettext' '--with-imap=/opt/php_with_imap_client/' '--with-imap-ssl=/usr' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-kerberos' '--with-libdir=lib64' '--with-libxml-dir=/opt/xml2' '--with-libxml-dir=/opt/xml2/' '--with-mcrypt=/opt/libmcrypt/' '--with-mhash=/opt/mhash/' '--with-openssl-dir=/usr' '--with-pic' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr' '--with-xsl=/opt/xslt/' '--with-zlib' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--with-openssl=/usr' '--with-mysql' '--with-mysqli' '--with-pgsql' '--with-sqlite=shared' '--enable-pdo=shared' '--with-pdo-sqlite=shared' '--with-pdo-mysql=shared' '--with-pdo-pgsql=shared' '--with-magickwand=/usr/local/bin' You can check other relevant settings here: http://liway.com/test.php For reference, here is the screenshot of the exact error message which one of the accounts is getting, which shows the open_basedir setting being composed of weird characters. http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/6261/screenshot1a.png The situation involves phpbb3 trying to include parts of itself, so I am confident that it should be allowed, as it's in the same directory or close directories within a single account home folder. The second screenshot is of the relevant open_basedir setting in the httpd.conf file. I have checked the settings against those in the virtual hosts of other accounts where open_basedir works without errors, and I can confirm that they are absolutely identical (apart from the actual home directory). http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/626/screenshot2w.png Needless to say, this is a very serious issue, as open_basedir is an extremely important security measure for those of us who don't run suPHP, and now it is impossible to use it because of these problems. I'm available daily for testing, hope this bug report will get some new attention for developers. Cheers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-30 13:19:21] tobias dot rausch at web dot de I'm expecting the same problem with Suse, Apache2 and PHP5.3 . I configured open_basedir correctly in vhost.conf and included this conf files into httpd.include. I think it is really strange because if you reload a page, sometimes the error changes or it even disappears for some reason.. I had this type of the error only due to some reloads: 1. Warning: Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/srv/www/vhosts/myrausch.de/subdomains/ba/httpdocs/ipboard/admin/upgrade/index.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (¢¶/www/vhosts/myrausch.de/httpdocs) in Unknown on line 0 2. Warning: Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/srv/www/vhosts/myrausch.de/subdomains/ba/httpdocs/ipboard/admin/upgrade/index.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (p. ) in Unknown on line 0 3. Warning: Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/srv/www/vhosts/myrausch.de/subdomains/ba/httpdocs/ipboard/admin/upgrade/index.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (de-de,de;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3) in Unknown on line 0 The third one is really strange because it seems to me that the open_basedir paths look like some language codes?! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-30 02:15:50] brwarner at rogers dot com Sorry, I didn't know I had to change it to "open," this is my first bug report. This bug still happens to mean, and it gets annoying especially when javascript is used to load other pages for information - as then javascript has a bunch of errors making the page appear wrong as opposed to even showing an error message.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
