[PHP] Script accesses complete harddrive. what did I do wrong?

2002-01-04 Thread christian_holler

Hi,

I have a big security hole in my php and I cannot get out why:

 Operating system: Windows XP
 PHP version:  4.1.1
 Bug description:  Script accesses harddrive. what did I do wrong?
 
 I installed Apache 1.3.20 with PHP and now I saw, a php script can show my
 complete harddrive remotly. I don't know if it is a bug in php, I think
 not, I think I configured something wrong but I have ABSOLUTLY no idea what
 and I didn't find help anywhere. maybe you can tell me what this could be.
 
 
 thanks a lot

P.S.: how can I configure that scripts only access things in the directory they where 
executed or in their subdirs?

chris

This is an Apache question, not a PHP one. I don't know if your Apache 
configuration file is named apache.conf or httpd.conf under Windows, but 
whatever it is, check these settings:

ServerRoot - should be set to the location where Apache is installed.
DocumentRoot = set to where your web files are located.
DirectoryIndex - should be set to the default file names, e.g index.htm, 
index.html, index.php

plus one more, which automatically has theeffect of adding a trailing slash 
to an URL, so that you do not get a directory listing.

This is a start - Miles
