ID: 34552 Comment by: T dot J dot Hunt at open dot ac dot uk Reported By: mmayer at blastwave dot org Status: Open Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Solaris 9, MacOSX, netBSD PHP Version: 5CVS, 4CVS (2005-09-20) New Comment:
I can confirm the previous has the correct diagnosis. I was having this problem on MacOSX, and adding read permissions to all directories in the path fixed it for me. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-30 15:24:15] kwerle at pobox dot com A quick scan will show this problem has been reported multiple tims. I had been looking at #32967, but I can't change the state back to open, so here is where I'll report the true cause of the bug, and it's workaround. Note that it has nothing to do with being in a user's home directory. OK, I have created a trivial test case that displays the problem. In short, if an ancestor directory (though not the direct parent) of a file is not readable (just executable), you will get this behavior.

I did exactly same as mmayer's example above (same files, same chmods) and got the same issue. This bug occurred when installing for Calendar 2. I hope you guys finally can resolve this mysterious bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-20 18:43:34] mmayer at blastwave dot org No, I cannot reproduce this problem with CLI. Even 4.4.0 works in that case. I downloaded php5-latest.tar.gz. $ telnet localhost 80 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. HEAD / HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2005 16:31:46 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.54 (Unix) DAV/2 PHP/5.1.0RC2-dev [...] Still getting the same results with the apache module that I saw for 4.4.0, so the problem is still there. CLI of 5.1.0RC2 works, however, just like CLI for 4.4.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
